What is a Shrimp?
A shrimp is a tiny ocean animal with a long body, ten legs, and delicate antennae that wave gently as it moves. Most shrimps are small, often only a few centimeters long, although some can grow much bigger. They have a hard shell to protect their soft bodies and a tail that helps them flick away quickly when they need to escape. Shrimps can live for about one to six years depending on their species. They make little clicking or snapping sounds underwater as they move or interact with the world around them. Shrimps can be found in oceans, rivers, and even lakes, where they hide among rocks, plants, or coral reefs. They love to munch on tiny plants, bits of algae, or little creatures floating in the water. With their amazing colors and busy movements, shrimps are truly one of the oceans' most delightful tiny wonders!
