                            Folded away beneath its body – much in the way that terrestrial praying mantises tuck their limbs beneath them – is a pair of lethal, club-like front legs, or "dactyls". If threatened, the peacock mantis shrimp can whip out these appendages at speeds of 23 m/sec (75 ft/sec).
