Snapping shrimp orbital hood protects against shockwave blasts

A team of researchers from the University of Tulsa and the University of South Carolina, has found that the reason bigclaw snapping shrimp do not suffer from their own shock waves is that they are protected by orbital hoods. In their paper published in the journal Current Biology, the group describes experiments they conducted in their lab that involved removing the hoods from wild shrimp.
