Oh yes their immense intelligence. I got injured once while rock climbing and, luckily, some mantises found me and took me to one of their hospitals where they administered liquids, performed an MRI scan, treated me and set my ankle. I didn't have the proper insurance coverage but they were nice about out and discharged me anyway.
Praying Mantises are wonderful insects. We have had pet ones for nearly a year since we found one on our front door. They are extremely curious, not scared of humans, and pretty much harmless (one of them did try to attack me when I hadn't fed it enough but it was more cute than anything else) so much that my wife and daughters really are happy to have them wander around on their hands and arms.
@@RealG.Washington yeah. It is sort of cute when they do it. I was trying to coax one out so I could clean the container and it didn't want to come out. Ended up picking it up gently, which it didn't like, and it stuck it's raptorial claws into my thumb. Didn't hurt, but was slightly troublesome as it didn't want to let go.
I’ve lived in the country my entire life and have held many praying mantis and this just blew my doors off. I absolutely had no idea these little buggers were so aggressive, catches a hummingbird,lizard,frog,snake WTF!! Thank you for this unbelievable great video.
When I was a kid, every spring I would search the fields and hillsides around my house for a mantis to keep as a seasonal pet. I would always release them in the fall. I thought they were so cool. Every day after school I’d toss my book bag in the house and run outside to hunt for grass hoppers to feed my Mantis. Great memories.
I just found a small mantis in the wild (a very young one) and decided to put it in an enclosure, I dropped in 3 small grass hoppers and after about 2 hours, when the mantis got comfortable in it's new environment, sitting on the stick that I left in, it patiently waited for a grass hopper to get near her and she snatched the life out of it. I've decided to keep this mantis and help her to her adulthood.
I have dozens of them living around my house every summer. I leave them water and they destroy our common enemy the wasps, hornets, and random spiders. Pretty slick deal in my opinion, every now and again I have to get photos cause they look cool to me.
I caught a giant, green preying mantis when I worked night shift at a gas station when I was younger, so I can tell you for an absolute fact that they are vicious killers that I am thankful do not get much bigger. I kept it in a terrarium for over a year. I fed it all kinds of interesting prey. They will always attempt to kill and eat anything. Very cool, yet frightening pet.
i was smoking near a store and a praying mantis saw me. it was doing a little dance (moving side to side), and i figured it saw me as a threat or something. so i started mimicking it's dance, which fascinated the mantis so much it ran closer to me, like we became friends. so we both just did our little dance until my cig was out then i left. it was a strange event, but i danced with a praying mantis, so it was cool.
@@funnycrab5684 actually mice don’t have hair on their tails ether. But their significantly smaller then rats with only a handful of exceptions in the wild.
Grabbed a mantis a few months ago and made a terrarium for him and was a lot of fun feeding. Taught my 8 yr old a lot. I never noticed them but now I seem them around all the time.
@@bigbrother7952 i also remember watching a documentary on that. In the past, when O2 level was higher, insects used to be gigantic. Maybe humans will shrink in the next millenia😆
Mantises are similar to Tarantulas . But only female has the strength to take down Mouses , Lizards , Snakes , Frogs , Small Birds ( such as Humming Bird ) and eat it. Because female is 3x larger and bigger than male.
@Olajuwon Lagunju and what exactly do you think the mantis did afterwards, because if you think it stole it's wallet and called the morgue, then you just might be dense.
@@thechosenone9847 Because it looked so painfullll like imagine ur just chilling and a creepy as bug thing that knows martial arts grabs you by the neck and begins to eat your lips.
Great educational and entertaining video. My son's first mantis "bonded" to him. Sometimes while sitting on his shoulder, she would pet (as in stroking) his cheek. There's an intelligence in that formidable alien-headed insect. Beautiful creature though.
This video made me remember that not everybody is an empath. It was hard for me to watch the lizard get bit alive but apparently for some it was like nothing.
In my area, the east coast of the US, I would say that Mantises here tolerate Humans. If I see one, I'll just walk up to it and pick it up. I've never had one bite, get defensive, or make themselves look big to scare me away. I can just put one on my shoulder and it'll just chill there. So, although not afraid or at least showing "fear", they seem to just tolerate Human behavior if we engauge. I'm sure they are at least smart enough to know that neither of us prey on each other.
In case someone is wondering. The snapping shrimp is what's also called a pistol shrimp. Also, pistol shrimps can't really hurt humans, but mantis shrimps can.

@@seagrass9766 I had failed to consider that, at this point I’m just tired of hearing “killing animals is inhumane” as the only issue when in nature it’s a lot more brutal. But you make an excellent point.
I ❤️ the pistol shrimp @ 9:00! Furthermore, upon bursting, the temperature inside the bubble gets SO hot that it rivals the temperature on the surface of the sun. It's because of this instantaneous change in temperature that the bubbles actually emit a flash of light when they burst. This all happens so fast that it cannot be perceived by the naked eye (without slow motion cameras)
@@simps1645 No, they are hard working and prefer unity If you closely watch a mantis attack, you would see 1. How they judge every movement they make......and if they make any mistake they correct themselves almost immediately 2. They calculate each and every bit of the prey before attack..... Their body weight, temperature, and their defense.... 3. They can be either the most nimble insect or increase their volume to be a big one.... To atleast scare their opponent The rest is up to you whether you think it's a yes or no
@@sync9072 at first I was amazed that it was fighting back when I was just faking an attack, it was raising its arms and all. And then all of a sudden it sprinted towards me. As a kid, I was scared for my life. and also because I knew that it bites
My yard is full of them in the summer and I love them... Simply a beautiful bug they set up and will watch you walk by, hell they even let you hold them but command respect so in other words not too long lol.
EXCUSE ME but did I just witness a praying mantis break a lizards neck.....A LIZARD (Edit) HOLY CRAP I never thought I would get 12k likes on a comment before it never crossed my mind, thanks everyone
I don't think it broke it's neck. Their arms are equipped to hold them down while their prey can pretty much do nothing. Imagine getting caught in a full nelson hold almost anyone can do it and it's very hard to get out of in most cases. Now imagine yourself getting the back of your neck getting bit by someone while you're in that head lock. It got caught again in another angle that left it's neck exposed and since it's Jugular vein is right there...well you can figure out the rest.
My son recently bought an orchid mantis nymph from a breeder. Initially, I was worried about the little guy not being able to eat larger insects or being harmed by them. Now, after watching this, I worry about my fifteen year old son's head!!

Whenever people create a deadly, insectoid alien race in Sci-Fi, there's a DAMN good reason why they're always based on Mantises. God they're so terrifying.
@@annannanan3024 They usually can't molt as fast as wounds heal. Also, exoskeletons are more easily damaged by brute force. But hey, they're fast. Unless of course, they're giant versions of normal bugs.
When I was a kid I had a praying mantis and I was holding it wrong and I’ll be damned if the SOB didn’t start chewing right into my finger. It actually drew blood and it hurt like hell. Ever since then I’ve had great respect for them. They are badass critters designed to inflict damage in order for their own survival.
When I was in grade 4, I found a preying mantis on an extremely windy day on the playground of the community center. I didn't feel it belonged in the playground and gently got it to crawl on my bare hand. I used my free hand to block the wind as best I could and it held onto my finger with it's claws. I got it safely to a field of long grass and let it go. Never even tried to hurt me. Will never forget that encounter.
I've done the same they are pretty gentle but it probably has something to do with the fact that insects don't see our whole body it probably precieved you as a big stick or platform to crawl on which is why you can have spiders crawl on your hand and just keep looping your hands over and over again
I had a praying mantis as a pet once. About the size of 1 joint of a index finger. I kept it in a container on top of my Chinchilla cage. A few weeks later, my Mantis died cos my chinchilla escaped frm the cage and pushed the container down on the floor, and the stuff inside crushed the mantis

They’re incredibly intelligent and perceptive. They’ll look you in the eye and follow you.
There was a time when all insects were bigger than the ones in our time. Insects size an overall health relies on the amount of oxygen in atmosphere.

@@seagrass9766 I had failed to consider that, at this point I’m just tired of hearing “killing animals is inhumane” as the only issue when in nature it’s a lot more brutal. But you make an excellent point.
Erm, it even eating it male mate alive...
❤I always loved The pray mantis, I had no idea that they were less brutal 😎 hope I see some this summer😍
I ❤️ the pistol shrimp @ 9:00! Furthermore, upon bursting, the temperature inside the bubble gets SO hot that it rivals the temperature on the surface of the sun. It's because of this instantaneous change in temperature that the bubbles actually emit a flash of light when they burst. This all happens so fast that it cannot be perceived by the naked eye (without slow motion cameras)
The mantis is the most intelligent insect according to me
Ofcoarse they are
The mantis said they are the smartest according to you. You are considered their scientist, u just don't know they discuss u in their class
Well I think ants are much smarter mantis are just stronger as an individual.
@@edmondrayfilipino2168 Lol.....great sense of humour..... Loved ur reply
@@simps1645 No, they are hard working and prefer unity
If you closely watch a mantis attack, you would see
1. How they judge every movement they make......and if they make any mistake they correct themselves almost immediately
2. They calculate each and every bit of the prey before attack..... Their body weight, temperature, and their defense....
3. They can be either the most nimble insect or increase their volume to be a big one.... To atleast scare their opponent
The rest is up to you whether you think it's a yes or no

I wasn't surprised that a mantis fought against a cat. One mantis once tried to fight back against me as a kid and I was terrified of them since then.
Lmaoooooo
Really? It attached you?
@@sync9072 at first I was amazed that it was fighting back when I was just faking an attack, it was raising its arms and all. And then all of a sudden it sprinted towards me. As a kid, I was scared for my life.
and also because I knew that it bites
I killed one by stomping on it multiple times I thought it was a cricket
I actually fw them
One of my absolute favourite animals, I have many species of mantis, they're awesome!
My yard is full of them in the summer and I love them... Simply a beautiful bug they set up and will watch you walk by, hell they even let you hold them but command respect so in other words not too long lol.
Lizard: Any last words before you die?
Mantis: "nO yOu"
A human was holding the lizzard lul
how turn table
No uno no reverse
Imagine mantises were about the size of dogs, they would kill humans too!
😨This is now my greatest fear. I’m already scared of them and always imagine being locked in a cage with thousands of them.
Lol... that was going to drive them to extinction... But yeah they don't give a shit...
So basically fallout.
Fuck bro. They would be on top of the food chain

I actually was interested in this whole video 😂 glad this popped up
Imagine a 6-foot long mantis existing in real life. Scariest breed in the world.

EXCUSE ME but did I just witness a praying mantis break a lizards neck.....A LIZARD
(Edit) HOLY CRAP I never thought I would get 12k likes on a comment before it never crossed my mind, thanks everyone
I don't think it broke it's neck. Their arms are equipped to hold them down while their prey can pretty much do nothing. Imagine getting caught in a full nelson hold almost anyone can do it and it's very hard to get out of in most cases. Now imagine yourself getting the back of your neck getting bit by someone while you're in that head lock. It got caught again in another angle that left it's neck exposed and since it's Jugular vein is right there...well you can figure out the rest.
Ya did
Keep them away from your pets and kill the mantises
@@kidaneadderley535 well uh now I’m no longer touching a mantis now
I never seen a mantis in person before so if it bites me am gonna squess it to death
Mantis has perfect perspective. You can't beat it. Every move you make in reaction to it has kready been calculated to make it your last.
This was actually super interesting. Ty
Lizard: I’m gonna eat you
Mantis: Uno reverse card

In the original video there's someone holding the lizard so it cannot move. The lizard move its head struggling to move but his body is hold.

My favorite insect. They are amazing little creatures.
My son recently bought an orchid mantis nymph from a breeder. Initially, I was worried about the little guy not being able to eat larger insects or being harmed by them. Now, after watching this, I worry about my fifteen year old son's head!!

Gaw dang! Their fiercer than I ever imagined!!! 🤯
We used to play with them as kids due to their bright coloured skin & they never attacked. Probably they're human friendly ☺️
They only attack if you provoke them or they are really hungry
@@32atharvparodkar Yeah maybe coz I indeed find them very cute & lovely creatures hehehe still can't be they can have some grey shades to their character as well lol

Mantis are actually really nice to humans and won’t hurt you
Mantises deserves a movie on him
Whenever people create a deadly, insectoid alien race in Sci-Fi, there's a DAMN good reason why they're always based on Mantises.
God they're so terrifying.
Well, at least exoskeletons are literally impossible to heal...
Regenerative skin for the win.
@@danielawesome36 thats not true, insects with exoskeleton are known to molt it every months or when its damaged
@@annannanan3024 They usually can't molt as fast as wounds heal. Also, exoskeletons are more easily damaged by brute force.
But hey, they're fast. Unless of course, they're giant versions of normal bugs.
@Xen Glaris oh man,prepare exterminatus

Lizard: TRIES TO EAT MANTIS
Also lizard: ITS JUST A PRANK BRO RELAX DUDE
Lizard: LOOK OKAY?! GARY IS ON THE CAMERA YOU DON'T NEED TO HURT ME CHILL DUDE.
When it hit its gums I cringed like owww
Aha! A schrödingers douchebag
The death of the lizard in 0:40 was staged, it was been drugged
That was so awful to watch
When I was a kid I had a praying mantis and I was holding it wrong and I’ll be damned if the SOB didn’t start chewing right into my finger. It actually drew blood and it hurt like hell. Ever since then I’ve had great respect for them. They are badass critters designed to inflict damage in order for their own survival.

Mantises are no joke. They will throw hands with ANYTHING.
Yeah didnt they name a kung-fu stance after it, the mantis stance or smth
Wow, so thin, small and delicate looking, but so deadly for their size! I would not have thought them so strong.
When I was in grade 4, I found a preying mantis on an extremely windy day on the playground of the community center. I didn't feel it belonged in the playground and gently got it to crawl on my bare hand. I used my free hand to block the wind as best I could and it held onto my finger with it's claws. I got it safely to a field of long grass and let it go. Never even tried to hurt me. Will never forget that encounter.
I've done the same they are pretty gentle but it probably has something to do with the fact that insects don't see our whole body it probably precieved you as a big stick or platform to crawl on which is why you can have spiders crawl on your hand and just keep looping your hands over and over again
@Darren Hoesan I killed one. It was an encounter I will never forget.
I had a praying mantis as a pet once. About the size of 1 joint of a index finger. I kept it in a container on top of my Chinchilla cage. A few weeks later, my Mantis died cos my chinchilla escaped frm the cage and pushed the container down on the floor, and the stuff inside crushed the mantis
I’m so glad it didn’t rip it apart
I stepped on one. It was just standing there, menacingly.
Animal: *exists*

yeah the mantis is the most well rounded hunter on land and my personal favorite insect.
Oh man,I was playing with this insect when I was a kid.I think it doesn't harm humans if they think we don't have intention to hurt them.
Seeing the lizard getting his face eaten and neck twisted was beyond brutal
Ikr, wasn't expecting that
It was held down...look closely...there's a green glove holding the back body down
That was a brutally staged video where a human is holding the lizard in place while the mantis attacks. Normally the lizard would run away at the first sign of danger.
