Watch the Scorpio unleash its 1/5000 second attack and then swallow the fish whole
Surely you will be surprised to know that a member of the snail family possesses the attack at the same speed as a bullet leaving the muzzle, and is also the fastest in the animal world. .
If you think that all members of the snail family are slow, then the Conch living on the ocean floor will make you completely change this mindset!
At first glance, the heavy lumbering of the Snail 's snail makes it hard to imagine that this creature possesses such an attack so fast it cannot be seen with the naked eye and prey when it has entered the range. of this blow will have almost no chance of escape.
It is known that the favorite food of Coni snail in nature is other small snails and even fish. Naturally, to be able to catch prey with a much faster movement speed than me, the Con snail requires a special weapon. In this case, it is the hollow hook-shaped tooth, used with two functions: the spear and the needle .
Specifically, when the prey has entered the range of attack, the Coi snail will release this weapon with an acceleration equivalent to a bullet leaving the muzzle. The total time from release to spear sticking into the prey is usually less than 200 microseconds (1/5000 second). Once plugged into the prey, the weapon begins to function as a needle, by pumping chemicals that paralyze the prey, so it can enjoy its meal slowly. .
Analyzing the ability of the Snail to launch a super-speed attack, the scientists said that the slow animal uses force from hydrostatic pressure. It is the venom that the Con snail uses to numb its prey which creates this pressure.
Take a closer look at the snail's snail attack, recorded by the high-speed camera in the video below:
