  •  A pistol shrimp is easily recognizable for its noticeable snapping claw which is larger than half of its body. It also has one normal claw. The snapping claw consists of two parts – the hammer part, which moves backwards into a right angled position and snaps into the fixed part. Hence the name snapping shrimp.

Another behavioural adaptation is it's relationship with the Goby fish. The Goby fish helps the pistol shrimp by warning it when predators are near. Its bullets  are about 4,400 degrees Celsius!]]> 2019-03-19 01:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ctp1798g/PistolShrimp/wish/342663846 Structural Adaptations ctp1798g https://padlet.com/ctp1798g/PistolShrimp/wish/342665834 This is a very good 'map' of a pistol shrimp and its structural adaptions]]> 2019-03-19 01:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ctp1798g/PistolShrimp/wish/342665834 Some facts about it ctp1798g https://padlet.com/ctp1798g/PistolShrimp/wish/342667254 1.  It is capable of producing a sound reaching 218 decibels, which is louder than a gunshot and capable of breaking glass jars, hence making it difficult to keep it in aquariums. 
    2.  If they lose the snapping claw, the missing limb regenerates into a smaller claw and the original smaller appendage grows into a new snapping claw.

      But mostly, people never get shot, even if they stick their finger near it. Hence, the Pistol Shrimp is not an aggressive animal and it knows what it wants and what it doesn't. ]]>     2019-03-20 02:04:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ctp1798g/PistolShrimp/wish/343147744     Picture ctp1798g https://padlet.com/ctp1798g/PistolShrimp/wish/343148582 2019-03-20 02:09:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ctp1798g/PistolShrimp/wish/343148582
