  Their claws can clamp down on a human finger down to the bone!!!    Strange... cause in the three photos, I don't see any huge claws...

  no claws..

  they have clubs instead of claws.. the clubs bash their victims to death.. they hit with the impact of a .22 calibre bullet..

  i like the other shrimp with such weapons too, the Pistol Shrimp..

  it uses a sound blast to kill its prey... the claw is evolved into a "pistol"

  Wah!  A cowboy shrimp, most likely an Outlaw! 

   

  The clubs must be darn powerful to be able to crack open a cockerel shell!

  Wow... right smack in Winter!  Better remind her to bring a winter coat over so when she arrives, she can put it on for warmth.
