    Peacock mantis shrimp -> "It is reported to have a "punch" of over 50 miles per hour (80 km/h), the fastest recorded punch of any living animal. The acceleration is similar to that in a .22 LR bullet fired from a handgun (accelerations of over 100,000 m/s2 or 330,000 ft/s2 (more than 10,000 g), and speeds of over 20 m/s or 66 ft/s), with each strike packing 1,500 N (340 lbf) of force. The speed of a raptorial appendage's strike causes cavitation bubbles to form. When those bubbles pop they release a large amount of heat, temporarily raising temperatures and weakening the armor of their prey. In addition, the surface of its hammer-claw is made up of extremely dense hydroxyapatite, laminated in a manner that is highly resistant to fracturing and can break ordinary glass tanks. Its composition is being investigated for potential bionic use in material engineering." <- WikiDiki
