Introducing…Peace Out Podcast: “Packs a Punch! Peacock Mantis Shrimp”

Full Episode description

Meet the Peacock Mantis Shrimp, a rainbow-coloured crustacean that has strong eyesight and an even stronger punch! Yep, you read that right, the mantis shrimp’s punch can be deadly…but we’ll help them find their calm! 

(This episode mentions a contest that is now closed! But you can still go back and listen to all the Ocean Adventure episodes and play along just for fun!)
