+ | The cavitation bubbles created by shrimp in stunning their prey have some surprising properties. | ||
+ | Snapping shrimp produce a loud crackling noise1, that is intense enough to disturb underwater communication. This sound originates from the violent collapse of a large cavitation bubble generated under the tensile forces of a high-velocity water jet formed when the shrimp' | ||

Argyroneta Aquatica: This is the only spider known to live permanently underwater. The spider can swim with ease and constructs an inverted retreat which it fills with air. This is accomplished by trapping air on the abdomen. The air is collected from the surface with a flick of the rear legs. At the retreat the air is brushed off, several journeys are required to fill the " | Argyroneta Aquatica: This is the only spider known to live permanently underwater.

BTW, since I sat in the first row directly in front of the teacher. I got first the sample while the duck is still warm out of the oven (which is when it tastes the best). I am happy to say that it was an incredibly delectable combination of the crisp, light skin and the moist, creamy meat that melts in your mouth. The hand-made chinese crepe also provided just the right elasticity and gumminess to provide a heavenly experience!" | BTW, since I sat in the first row directly in front of the teacher.
