These shrimplike crustaceans are the fastest snappers in the sea

The snapping claws of male amphipods—tiny, shrimplike crustaceans—are among the fastest and most energetic of any life on Earth. Researchers reporting in the journal Current Biology on February 8 find that the crustaceans can repeatedly close their claws in less than 0.01% of a second, generating high-energy water jets and audible pops. The snapping claws are so fast, they almost defy the laws of physics.
