SD42 Snapping Shrimp

SD42 Snapping ShrimpDESCRIPTION: The claw snaps shut. A water jet shoots out at 60 miles per hour. A low pressure zone is left in its wake. Pressure's so low, the water vaporizes. A bubble forms. Surrounding water fights back. The bubble implodes like a tiny atomic bomb with temperatures as high as 8,500 degrees Fahrenheit. A 200 dB click is formed with frequencies up to 200 kHz. This is one of the loudest sounds in the animal kingdom. Only sperm whale clicks are louder
