A
Peacock Mantis Shrimp
B
Mexican Brown Shrimp
C
Coonstripe Shrimp
D
Royal Red Shrimp
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mantis shrimp pack the strongest punch of any creature in the animal kingdom. Their club-like appendages accelerate faster than a bullet out of a gun and just one strike can knock the arm off a crab or break through a snail shell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mantis shrimp beats this easily, regularly hitting 50 mph or more. And it’s doing this underwater! Water, of course, has far more resistance than air, but the mantis shrimp’s little clubs move through it like it’s not there.

Detailed explanation-3: -In April 1998, an aggressive creature named Tyson smashed through the quarter-inch-thick glass wall of his cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The peacock mantis shrimp, one of hundreds of species of mantis shrimp, can swing its front appendage, or club, at speeds of 50 mph – roughly the same acceleration as a 22-caliber bullet.

Detailed explanation-5: -An enthralling ant beats the mantis shrimp to the punch with the fastest animal appendage known to science.
