MANTIS SHRIMP 11.TIF

Download
Hayley Nessia, a University of Auckland postdoctoral researcher, dons gloves to handle a Japanese mantis shrimp. Spearers can make a strike in a little over three milliseconds, but that’s slow-mo compared to the punch of a smasher, which is so fast it creates a thermal shockwave for extra devastation.
Shot on assignment for New Zealand Geographic Issue 164 July - August 2020.
