If you see any of the prey , archerfish , will spray water through the mouth into the leaf , so that insects fall , then dimangsanya , or even directly on the prey that hunts .
Remarkably water spray from the mouth has a high speed . So fast to make the leaves shook and insects fall. The spray can reach 2-3 meters . The biologists from various countries have long examined how these fish can spray water as strong and far. Research of Italian scientists published in the journal Plus One mention , water spray strength reaches 10 times the body weight of the fish. One source of that power comes from the collagen fibers , as did the salamander .
2 . Giant centipede Amazon
How to hunt animals that will be unique in dimangsanya also shown a giant centipede Amazon , or an animal with a Latin name , Scolopendra Gigantea . This centipede be the largest insect in the world that can be found in the northern part of South America . Body length can reach 35 cm . With a body size like that , this centipede can prey on bats , birds , frogs , lizards , and even a giant tarantula spiders are poisonous once.

When the prey is exposed to it will be of claws immediately helpless . Body large bat can devour in just 60 minutes. Although venomous claws , but is harmless to humans .
3 . Spider " Trap Door "
No less unique when hunting prey do spiders live in the desert . As the name implies trapdoor spider , the spider uses a hole or door to trap prey . The spider will dig a hole , then memelester the inside hole with soil sticky fluid produced by the body to be a solid house , so avoid the danger of collapsing ground .
The spiders will hide in a hole with camouflaged by tree branches and leaves , so it looks like there are no holes . Therefore, insects or other animals to be hunted not realize it until approaching , or even standing on top of the hole where the spider hiding . Because prey was approaching , the spider easily pull prey into the hole to be eaten .
4 . Mantis shrimp
Animals that this one also has its own uniqueness when hunting prey by using a punch . Expertise paralyze prey with the punches do mantis shrimp . Even speed punches including the mantis shrimp are done with the fastest to reach 50 meters per hour . The animals were exposed to the mantis shrimp will blow lifelong disability , up would easily be the meal.
Tools used to hit the prey called Dactyl Club , in red with a length of 1 cm at the front of his head . A chemical engineer from universits of California conducted a study of the bat , which turns the material is composed of calcium carbonate , the same arrangement as that found in human bone . At the bottom there is another material to prevent widespread organ damage or breakdown . While in the last area in the back , composed of chitin atsa that helps organs hitter from outside pressure . With the arrangement makes the mantis shrimp has the ability to withstand impact.
5 . Dragonfish
The last animal has the ability to hunt when the prey is dragonfish , or Grammatostomias flagelibarba . These fish include the ferocious predators , although a small body size , on average only 10 to 15 centimeters if dibandingnkan with other predators that live in the deep sea . But these animals can also live in shallow ocean water , even dipelirahara in the aquarium .
The uniqueness in the hunting of dragonfish there on a Gandul on the chin . Gandul is a light-producing organ known as photophores . Its function is when hunting fish that live in the darkness of the deep ocean depths . Usually with the light keen to approach their prey . Once an unsuspecting fish approached, dragonfish will devour and bite with jaws powerful
