Life happens at alarming speeds in what seems like the slow moving ocean. Marlins chase their prey at 75 MPH, stonefish strike at amazing speeds and mantis shrimp throw the fastest punch in the animal kingdom. Even caped gannets take dangerous dives, hitting the water at bone crunching velocity, just to grab a quick bite. Smithsonian Channel reveals the science behind the speed and takes viewers on a breathtaking journey under the sea.
