Do you like garlic steamed or stir-fried pepper shrimps? What if I had told you that you be deaf if this shrimp snap its claw at you?
Faster than a speeding bullet, it is the snapping shrimp which is also known as the pistol shrimp.
A crustacean in the family of Alpheidae. It uses its’ claw to create bubbles that had a speed out at 60 miles per hour fast enough to stun or kill its prey. When the bubble pops, it makes a “snap” sound!
The sound of the burst bubble can reach 210 decibels! It its actually louder than an actual gunshot which is around 140 to 175 decibels. Now, how about some curried shrimps for dinner?
