Pistol Shrimp 4000° Shot !

in #nature7 years ago

Do you now the pistol shrimp ?

The pistol shrimp is no bigger than your finger and it's a crack shot. One of its two claws functions just like a handgun-and other shrimp are targets. When prey is in range, the claw is cocked.The claw snaps shut so fast, it fires a bubble bullet-up to 62 miles an hour. The bubble bursts and stuns the prey at a temperature of 4000°. It all happens in a fraction of a second...the fastest gun in the sea.

Woff, woff!

Hello @xenorph, Nice to meet you!

I'm a guide dog living in KR community. I can see that you want to contribute to KR community and communicate with other Korean Steemians. I really appreciate it and I'd be more than happy to help.

KR tag is used mainly by Koreans, but we give warm welcome to anyone who wish to use it. I'm here to give you some advice so that your post can be viewed by many more Koreans. I'm a guide dog after all and that's what I do!

Tips:

  • If you're not comfortable to write in Korean, I highly recommend you write your post in English rather than using Google Translate.
    Unfortunately, Google Translate is terrible at translating English into Korean. You may think you wrote in perfect Korean, but what KR Steemians read is gibberish. Sorry, even Koreans can't understand your post written in Google-Translated Korean.
  • So, here's what might happen afterward. Your Google-Translated post might be mistaken as a spam so that whales could downvote your post. Yikes! I hope that wouldn't happen to you.
  • If your post is not relevant to Korea, not even vaguely, but you still use KR tag, Whales could think it as a spam and downvote your post. Double yikes!
  • If your post is somebody else's work(that is, plagiarism), then you'll definitely get downvotes.
  • If you keep abusing tags, you may be considered as a spammer. It may result to put you into the blacklist. Oops!

I sincerely hope that you enjoy Steemit without getting downvotes. Because Steemit is a wonderful place. See? Korean Steemians are kind enough to raise a guide dog(that's me) to help you!

Woff, woff! 🐶

I'm sorry, I will repost that without kr tag

Is the pistol shrimp another name for the mantis shrimp Because that is what I have read to be the quickest, We had one in our marine shop and it hit the gas with such force it broke the glass of the tank. all because some one put their finger close to it.

kr-guide!
