Tiny shrimp, huge boom: the ocean's loudest hunter

One claw snaps at 62 miles per hour to create a lethal cavitation bubble.

The collapsing bubble generates a shockwave reaching 218 decibels, louder than a gunshot.

This sonic blast stuns or kills prey without the shrimp ever making physical contact.

The bubble collapse creates a brief flash of light reaching temperatures near the sun's surface.

Pistol shrimp noise is so intense it can interfere with military sonar systems.
