Anyone watch the special on Mantis Shrimp (Nat Geo) last night?

[Mando77]

I thought it was amazing. One powerful little critter.

I saw it, it was pretty cool.

 

NatGeo seems to be "into" mantis shrimp these days.

 

They contacted me a while back regarding using some of my footage in a different special they are making that has not aired yet. I got word from them today that my stuff made it into the final cut.

I liked the episode

(just happened to be flipping the channels)

 

I thought it was funny that hours later, a "WTB Mantis" post popped up

;-)

 

I'm certainly not gonna put one in my DT,

but the next iteration ???

[SunWyrm]

Very cool.

 

All these mantis threads are making me seriously miss my chiragra...

Here is a video I made of my former chiragra doing some funny things:

[steveoutlaw]

I can't stop laughing!

[jimlin]

haha.

I'm glad my pain amuses you all.

 

 

I'm amused by the number of hits:

 

14,000 hits for that multi-trick video:

 

But, when I put only that single trick in a video, I get 198,000:

That made my day! Thanks!

 

...I think I'm going to go fix up my mantis tank lol.

[extreme_tooth_decay]

I let zefrank use some of my footage, and you'll never guess what they ended with...

 

(some of my stuff throughout, but watch 3:50-4:00 to see this part again...I'm the only other person on the voice track!)

 

You should check out more of his videos, there is some funny stuff there.
