Explanation: Mantis shrimps have the most powerful punches in nature with respect to their body size. It can probably break human bones.

"probably" is more "likely fracture" if you get punched by them and you take the full 1500 newtons straight on the finger.

According to https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/bmt-2012-0004/html

(I can only access the abstract) fractures appear at an average of 1485 N, albeit in a different situation (jamming rather than strike)
