Videos: Mantis Out of Water

[Isaari]

Gatorade knows krill, and I can almost always count on him to show me so with a good hit to the glass when I give him a preview:

You'll see in this clip that despite my attempt to lodge the food in the stick enough to keep him busy while I lift him out of the water, he makes short work of my efforts and wastes no time heading back into the drink:

So they definitely CANNOT jump out of the water? Had that nightmare again last night. I wasn;t so much scared as I was just surprised in my dream, but it still freaks me out a little.

The closest Gatorade ever got to leaving the water was either by riding the stick, or occasionally he pokes his head above the water line while hanging out on top of the pump, which you can see in the video is close to the surface.
