I found this in my bathroom behind the toilet; it had attacked my dog, and was eating my cat!!:wink:

I cany believe its not full of bulletholes. If I found that thing anywhere near me,especially behind my toilet, it wouldn't be in the condition you are showing it in.

Did you at least let it finish off the cat?

I don't think it is a Mantis Shrimp but those sound like mean little Fokkers too.
It says in captivity it can break aquarium glass.
Habitat: Typically found moving about on open bottom or hiding in burrows in muddy or sandy bottom.
Average adult size: Adults can grow to be 12 inches long.
Natural history: Mantis shrimp dig large burrows from 3-6 feet deep and 2-3 inches wide. The animals leave their burrows infrequently to feed. Clams, mussels and worms make up the bulk of the mantis shrimp's diet. Divers have reported hearing low, "groaning" sounds coming from mantis shrimp burrows. They may produce these sounds to attract a mate. The most amazing feature in the mantis shrimp is the "hammer-like" claw it uses to feed. It is folded back underneath its head, forming a collapsed "Z." It is reported to be one of the fastest movements in the animal kingdom. The strike has been clocked at four milliseconds. In captivity the mantis shrimp can break aquarium glass.
Range: from the Gulf of California north to Point Conception.
:eek:

I bet that thing ripped through someones stomach, looked around, and then sped off into the darkness of the house; only to breed more of the species....
You might want to get a few motion sensors installed around there...

how did that thing get from behind the toilet to be on top of that counter, where it poses for the photo??
:confused:
But more importantly, what do you plan to do with it?
Suggestion 1: Purchase a large aquarium [with a very sturdy top] and some water plants. I bet it would make a fantastic conversation starter... (or ender...)
:eek:

Sell it to a zoo.

My guess is that someone is going through a college biology course, and that nasty little sucker is about to get dissected.
It is probably twice as ugly because you are looking at the bottom and all of those creepy legs and gills and egg bladders and whatever else is under there.
Is this about to be lesson 5-5 "Crustacean Dissection Lab"?

Soory it took me sooooo long to reply, this site seems to be blocked at work now???
Anyways, I think it attached itself to the underside of my boat, and rode home with us. It lives in the water, but can breathe air also when its on land, and hisses like made when you get near it...
I think I'll release it into lake Havasu ... What do you think.??
:D :wink:
