Imagine if a snake that was 1.5 feet across and 60 feet long attacked you, a human, and you were strong enough to hold that mf off with just your arm strength.
The arm strength is not the only thing helping the mantis here, there's also the feet grip on the ground! This snake should be strong enough to easily move the weight of the mantis, but the mantis never moved from this spot. Those four paws gripped on the ground did an incredible job.
Yeah, it felt weird to write too. But english is not my main language and I didn't know if there was a specific word for that. In french, the translation for paw is used for any kind of animal leg and foot.
