Sonoluminescence

Sonoluminescence is the emission of short bursts of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoluminescence

Mantis Shrimp also attack so fast that they produce Sonoluminescence ( they attack with a speed of 23m/s, with a launching force of 10,500g's from a standing start ) - because of that they actually form a cavitation bubble that collapses with a force of 1,500N ( to give you a reference, 1N is the force of Earth's gravity on an apple - on a human its about 686N ) - with all that, the collapse of the cavitational bubble will cause a sonoluminescnece


I gotta order myself a Mantis Shrimp - they're badass little fuckers ( look them up on youtube )
