@masterreefguides: a scene straight out of a horror movie. Blink and you’ll miss it 😱! Mantis shrimp are lightning fast ambush predators. This one launches from its sandy burrow to seize a turtle hatchling. “I couldn’t believe my eyes I never could’ve imagined what I had just seen, I thought the turtle just vanished. But after looking at the footage this is what I saw!” Photographer @will___cronin Reaching the water doesn’t guarantee safety for these little tiny babies. From the shallows to deep, predators are part of the journey to survive, and only a small percentage of hatchlings will make to adulthood. 📸 IG @will___cronin 📍 @heronisland #turtle #hunt #wildlife #nature #greatbarrierreef
