MANTIS SHRIMP

Age: 95 million years

Period: Cretaceous

Location: Haqel, Lebanon

Scientific findings reveal that evolution never happened. The mantis shrimp fossil illus-
trated is one proofs of this fact, which evolutionists attempt to conceal. There is no differ-
ence between this fossil and mantis shrimp living today.

Mantis shrimp use arm-like appendages extending out of their chests in order to feed.
Each of these is clawed. The second one is particularly large and is used for striking and
holding prey. Since the second appendage closely resembles the claws of the mantis, these
creatures are widely known as mantis shrimp. These appendages, which come in two
types—speared and heeled—vary among species. A large mantis shrimp can strike as pow-
erfully as a 22-caliber bullet. ("Seeing the World in Many Colors," Maryland University Web
