New Species (real) found in Idaho
on: March 16, 2005, 05:23:46 pm
In Mountain Home, Idaho, National Gaurd biologist, Dana Quinney, has recently discovered a new type of shrimp, named the "fariy shrimp", which lies dormant in the desert during the summer months, and then awakens when rain falls creating ponds.  A few weeks of mating, eating, and birthing are about all any of these creatures can expect. Buried in baked summer soil or frozen winter earth, the offspring can survive for years before hatching.  This crustean is approximately 3 inches in lenth and 1 inches in width.

wow!
neat!

I'm a bit disapointed, though, when I first saw the pictures I thought it might be a trilobite. allas, it is a mear shimp, but a shimp with a cool life cycle.

"Indeed"

yeah the trilobites have been extinct now for awhile now, and even if it was a trilobite, they couldn't call it a new species, since they have know about thoes for practically forever

got to admit though it does look like one.  Maybe it is an ancestor of it..... oooooooh.... scary thought

Could have been a different species of trilobite, IIRC trilobites aren't one "species" (I remember something about Cryptolithus and something called a Phacops as both being trilobites)
