dirtmudd Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 New sonic blast shrimp named after Pink Floyd AFPApril 12, 2017 A photograph from Brazil's Federal University of Goias shows the newly-discovered bright pink-clawed pistol shrimp which has been named 'Synalpheus pinkfloydi' after British rock band Pink Floyd (AFP Photo/Arthur Anker) More London (AFP) - A newly-discovered shrimp species with a bright pink claw and the ability to produce one of the loudest sounds in the ocean has been named after legendary British band Pink Floyd, zoologists said on Wednesday. "Synalpheus pinkfloydi" has a bright pink claw that, "just like all good rock bands," can produce large amounts of sonic energy, according to a post on the blog of the University of Oxford's Museum of Natural History. Zoologist Sammy de Grave, a lifelong Pink Floyd fan who works at the museum, said the shrimp's discovery off the coast of Panama was "the perfect opportunity to finally give a nod to my favourite band". By closing its distinctive claw at rapid speed, the shrimp can produce a sound strong enough to stun or even kill a small fish. A description of the shrimp appeared in the journal Zootaxa on Wednesday and the Oxford team featured the shrimp in fictitious covers for the legendary British rock band's albums "Animals" and "The Wall". "I often play Pink Floyd as background music while I'm working," de Grave said. "But now the band and my work have been happily combined in the scientific literature". 95414cf4b549aa82fcebb244e833e04d6ccff491.jpg.cf.webp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderate arthritis already and when going up steps my hip clicks like a watch. Surgeon told me that he’d replace it when the pain takes the fun out of life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
