A lot of Roberts in this thread....

Anyway, I'm a biology major and I've written an article on tadpole shrimp. One of this size is unusual but not unheard of, particularly in very remote areas. There are dozens of species. Also, in the video you can't see anything to indicate scale, so it could just be a regular sized tadpole shrimp/Triop.

I say horse shoe crab. We use to find them on the beach in florida all the time.

Robert, a few days after Katrina I saw an egret in missouri; i guess animals just get lost sometimes.
About the shrimp: it's clearly a triops but twice the size of the previous record holder. Hobbists pay well for unusual varieties. I would like to find the guy who collected this.

May 30, 2009 Caught A Stripped Bass with Manta shrimp in it's stomach contents. I'm baffled by this because Manta shrimp are found in tropical waters.
