Logan Paul floored after receiving the weirdest birthday gift ever Logan Paul (YouTube)YouTube star Logan Paul recently celebrated his 25th birthday on April Fools\u2019 \u2014 but instead of pulling a prank on their friend, his buddies got him one of the oddest birthday gifts imaginable. While Paul has owned a plethora of different pets throughout his career on YouTube, including everything from a parrot to a pig and several different breeds of dogs, his favorite animal actually makes its home in the ocean. As mentioned several times during various podcast episodes and vlogs, Logan has made no secret of his special affinity for the mantis shrimp, which surprisingly boasts one of the strongest strikes and most complicated eyes out of the entire animal kingdom. In fact, the mantis shrimp can see UV, polarized, and visible light, and has a strike equal to that of a .22 calibre bullet, making them a seriously interesting critter in spite of their small size. Thus, Logan\u2019s friend group decided to surprise him with the unique creature as a special birthday gift \u2014 and his initial reaction was one of genuine shock. \u201cNo f**king way!\u201d he exclaimed after his squad pointed out the animal swimming around in his aquarium. \u201cBro, shut the f**k up! No, no, no! \u2026You\u2019re f**ing lying! How did you do this? I thought they were illegal here!\u201d However, the star ended up backpedaling at bit on his surprise over the gift, later admitting that he wasn\u2019t as impressed with the specimen as he thought he\u2019d be. \u201cTo be honest, bro, I don\u2019t really care about that shrimp,\u201d he revealed. \u201cIt\u2019s not really a mantis shrimp, dude. Part of the reason I\u2019m f**king obsessed with the mantis shrimp is because I\u2019m colorblind, and the real mantis shrimp is so vibrant. This one is kind of just a monochrome shrimp.\u201d (Topic begins at 3:20 for mobile readers) Despite the thoughtful gift, Paul explained that he hates birthdays due to having difficulty managing his expectations \u2014 as well as suffering past trauma from being pranked with a fake luxury vehicle by his little brother, Jake Paul, when he turned 22. For now, it looks like Logan is celebrating at home with a brand new (if unexpected) addition to the Maverick family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
