siftbotsays...Tags changed from "shrimp" to "shrimp, sonoluminescence" by gold star member bl968.
xxovercastxxsays...I think it would have been better without the dubbed sound effects.
gwiz665says...Biology = cool; Lame gunshot sound of laming = not as cool.
chilaxesays...Does it rilly '
Does it reilly make that gun sond?
pipp3355says...cool
rembarsays...Chilaxe, no, it doesn't, but it does make a cracking sound not unlike that of a pistol.
Pistol shrimp
karaidlsays...Good thing you included sonoluminescence in the tags, cuz people search for that all the time.
papplesays...Might as well add 'alpheidae' to the tags while we're being ostentatious.
snaremopsays...This pistol shrimp deals a deadly blow...with....bubbles!
wingnutsays...I read about these things! They can actually shatter normal glass (i.e. fishtank) with their claws, so they have to be kept in tanks with thicker glass. I would so buy a bulletproof fishbowl.
don_vicentesays...whoa dude, they should make him the next bad-guy in spiderman...
pragmaticksays...It's from the BBC's production "Weird nature". You gotta see that, un-Fin-believable stuff in there.
Doc_Msays...Strangely enough, we (meaning humanity) have just figured this out for ourselves... in our usual extreme style: http://www.purdue.edu/UNS/html4ever/2004/0400302.Taleyarkhan.fusion.html
I'm blown away by the fact that this crustacean has beaten us to this discovery but I'll give us humans the props for taking it to the level we have... that is, nuclear fusion in a bubble. woot.
choggiesays...yeah Doc-M...lookie.."the ability to use simple mechanical force for the first time in history to initiate conditions comparable to the interior of stars."........sounds like ego to me....1st time in shrimp history was a while back, huh....
