00:00What if I told you an animal could create a vacuum in the middle of the ocean?

00:04No, not a vacuum cleaner. An actual pocket of nothingness.

00:10Meet the pistol shrimp.

00:12This tiny creature, no bigger than your finger,

00:15packs a punch that would make a heavyweight champion jealous.

00:19It has one oversized claw that it snaps shut so fast it creates a bubble of air.

00:26This isn't just any bubble.

00:28The pressure inside drops so low it becomes a near-perfect vacuum, collapsing with a massive bang.

00:36This collapse generates a shockwave that stuns or even vaporizes its prey.

00:42And for a split second, the bubble reaches temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun.
