Default VERY INTERESTING!!! Pistol Shrimp
Anyone ever heard of a Pistol Shrimp!?! I just found this gem. Its a shrimp that has a unique weapon. It ***** its claw and then snaps it shut, which shoots a jet of bubbles and reaches 9900 degrees C!! Mother Nature is incredible!

That is pretty awesome. Reminds me a bit of the mantis shrimp, which people actually keep as pets. Crazy stuff.
