Shooting Crab

A crab shoot bubbles hot as the sun,..look the Video
Shooting Crab

that was awesome. is that from one of the planet earth dvd's?

That is just so very far out! And we know so little about our own planet and it's inhabitants.

Great find.

Man that was strange! O_o

Where is that footage from? I can't really believe what the narrator is telling us, about the temperature levels...

Nature is so badass.

Stop ruining the oceans people, some of the sweetest animals exist in the mysterious waters of the earth. Like those jelly fish that light up in rainbow colors.

Thats so friggin awesome!! There's so much bizarre stuff in the ocean!

The shrimp is more formally known as a pistol shrimp or snapping shrimp. At first I was extremely skeptical about the authenticity of this video, but I've been approved by a very reliable source called National Geographic that it is totally and completely real!

You might find this interesting:

When the claw snaps shut, a jet of water shoots out from a socket in the claw at speeds of up to 62 miles (100 kilometers) an hour, generating a low-pressure bubble in its wake. As the pressure stabilizes, the bubble collapses with a loud bang.

The whole process, which was recorded with the use of high-speed cameras and sound equipment, occurs within 300 microseconds.

Now, using a device that counts photons, Lohse and his colleagues recorded a flash of light that occurs when the bubble collapses.

The flashing phenomenon is thought to be similar to sonoluminescence, in which bubbles that are in a liquid driven by a strong sound field emit light. The researchers have dubbed the shrimp activity shrimpoluminescence.

In sonoluminescence, the peak intensity of the emitted light is at a short wavelength. This indicates that the temperature inside the bubble is at least 10,000 degrees Kelvin (18,000 degrees Fahrenheit).


The researchers say the light emitted from the snapping shrimp's bubbles suggests that the temperature inside the bubbles must be at least 5,000 degrees Kelvin (8,540 degrees Fahrenheit) at the time of collapse. Otherwise, we wouldn't see it, said Lohse.

Wow, what an increadible creature. That is some amazing, i wonder is we can reproduce this effect. I want to know more, it seems impossible for that much heat to be generated with very little energy input.

W... T... F???

That was amazing. I wonder how much shock it gives off... for example if it did that close to the glass on a fish tank would it crack?

*runs off to practise FAST clicking*

Bubblebeam attack!!!

But seriously, woah I wouldn't want to be near that crab. That must have been an interesting discovery for them

Finally...We've done it...Proof that Pokemon do exist!!! My childhood fantasies have come true!

thats really @#$%ed up i really didnt beleive that could happen in nature i bet if we harnessed that power it would be an exreme weapon
