I always thought she was just being silly with her name, didn't know it was an actual shrimp that'll fuck you up

Link!!

Quote:

Submarines during WWII discovered they couldn't detect enemy ships. Something was interfering with their sonar. The cause? A 2 inch long shrimp with an oversized claw.

Pistol shrimp have one normal claw, and one claw that is about half the size of their bodies. The claw stays open until a muscle causes it to snap closed, ejecting a powerful jet of water traveling at an incredible 60mph. The snapping sound itself reaches 218 decibels - your eardrum ruptures at a mere 150.

A bubble forms in the low pressure area behind the stream of water, which is called a cavitation bubble. As the bubble implodes, it produces a flash of light and the interior temperature reaches over 5,000 degrees Kelvin - that's close to the surface temperature of the sun!


She'll fuck your shit up!

How many keyboards did you go through hun while snapping that claw trying to type?

You didnt know? We already discussed this awhile ago. Wink

Cool shrimp, I wonder if you can get them as pets... I would dress them in little cowboy outfits while staying clear of their claws.

The thing about the pistol shrimp itself, is that the "attack" is so tiny, it simply wouldn't do any damage to its surroundings. The bubble is barely a millimetre in diameter and collapses within milliseconds .. it may get ludicrously hot, but it's really only the compression wave that stuns its prey. It's not like a real gun so it couldn't shoot the glass of a tank and have it crack or shatter.

Still awesome creatures though! Nature is a freaky yet wonderful thing Very Happy
