Sheila Patek, a UC Berkeley scientist, created a name for herself by employing high-speed video cameras capturing at up to 20000 frames per second to measure the hyperfast motions of snail-smashing mantis shrimp heels and bug-snapping ant jaws.
She and her colleagues demonstrated in 2004 that peacock mantis shrimp had the quickest feeding strike in the animal kingdom and are the only known species to store energy in a hyperbolic paraboloid, a super-strong Pringles-shaped structure more commonly encountered in modern architecture.
