1. READ What Gives Brian Fresh Perspective
“My son and I recently stumbled upon the Pistol Shrimp, the loudest pound for pound creature on earth. This small shrimp snaps its enlarged claw so quickly that it creates an underwater bubble that is four times hotter than lava, and when it pops, is louder than a gun. They use this bubble to kill their prey. What a strange and unique ability! With everything out there in the world, to see a tiny shrimp with its own unique "superpower," it's hard not to be in awe of our wonderful God. He is so creative, and His work is good! ”

During World War II, Allied submarines used snapping Pistol Shrimp colonies as natural camouflage. The shrimp's loud claw snaps created an underwater “acoustic screen” that masked submarine noise, helping them evade Japanese sonar. The U.S. Navy even trained sonar operators to recognize the shrimp’s distinct crackling on official recordings.
