Unfortunately my camera will only take 40 seconds worth of video at a time for some weird reason.
I tossed in a smaller crab a few days ago and within 5 seconds he knocked him out and pulled the body back into his hole. This time however, the crab was just a little bit bigger so he's not as quick to go down.
If you'll look closely at the video, the mantis gives him 3 whacks and knocks off one of the claws. After that the crab tries to retreat and actually does make an escape. He's hiding under some rock where the mantis was trying to get to him but isn't able to reach.
Dinner got away this time!
I have a better camera that can actually take some good video that I'll try to use next time I get him a live meal.
Enjoy! 8)
