the things i learn from brian cox are several, including:

that a mantis shrimp’s punch would break a human finger. (they have these huge, yellow, frontal appendages evolved from legs and when they punch they do so at such high speed and with the an impact force of 2500 times their body weight that it would be like being hit by a bullet.)

so don’t get punched by a mantis shrimp.
