A fisher caught this flagitious 18 - column inch - long creaturewhile fishing from a dock in Fort Pierce , Florida . scientist say it could be a rare sort of Mantis Shrimp but further analysis necessitate to be conducted for determinate what the hell is this mutant monster from sin .
If it is a mantis shrimp , it ’s an exceptional one . fit in to Wikipedia :
Mantis shrimp or stomatopods are marinecrustaceans , the appendage of theorderStomatopoda . They may reach 30 centimetres ( 12 in ) in length , though in exceptional cases have been recorded at up to 38 cm ( 15 in ) .
Around 400 species of mantid shrimp have currently been described worldwide .
I found this one — Odontodactylus scyllarus — especially beautiful :
So this specimen is three inches bigger than the common someone . No more inside information have been disclosed .
And yes , obviously the perspective in the photo makes it look impossibly gigantic , but 18 inches is still amazingly Brobdingnagian . I just want to grill it and corrode it .
