Pink Floyd is now a type of Shrimp

For most music fans there is a Pink Floyd song for every occasion.

A loved one lost.

That time you took waaaay to much acid.

Or that time you didn’t eat your meat, so you didn’t get any pudding.

Now there is a shrimp that will remind you of Pink Floyd.

It is called Synalpheus Pinkfloydi and it is really cool.

It’s non-science name is the Pistol shrimp. It has a distinctive pink snapping claw that it uses to stun prey with sonic energy.  The sonic energy it produces is louder than a rock concert.

I wonder what song it plays?  Rick Dees and His Cast of Idiots – Disco Duck?

If the sonic waves don’t kill you, the song will.

A zoologist from Oxford University’s Museum of Natural History, Dr Sammy de Grave, has been waiting for his chance to honour Pink Floyd by giving their name to a newly discovered species.
