Dino-Crab - Megaxantho

Recently, paleontologists discovered the fossil of an especially giant-clawed crab of the aptly named Megaxantho family, which lived during the late Cretaceous period alongside the last of the dinosaurs. What's interesting about this crab,besides its enormous size, is the prominent tooth-shaped structure on its giant claw, which it used to pry prehistoric snails out of their shells. Also, this species of Megaxantho lived 20 million years earlier than paleontologists had previously thought, which may prompt some rewriting of the "crustaceans" section of biology textbooks. I think this crab is really cool. It is huge and had a giant body. The crab probably ate a lot. Mainly snails.

Ghost Shrimp

Today I am writing about ghost shrimp. I have four of them in my fish tank. They clean really well. Its kind if nasty though because they eat the poo like spaghetti. But it makes the tank look good. They also are see-through so you can see their organs. I like watching them swim around. I think one of mine is pregnant too.

Mantis shrimp

Last night I was watching a documentary about mantis shrimp. They are really cool and look like they are a mix of  Preying mantis and Lobster looking thing there is also a special species that has arms that can punch and crush crab and snail shells. They are also very territorial and live in burrows under the water. They will fight others of their species and kill the. They also have sex just like humans. Its really nasty and I cant believe that they showed that on TV. Finally they have spikes in their arms so that if they wanted to stab you while punching you they can.

Sea Spiders

Sea spiders are really ugly. They are also a part of the crustacean family. They have long legs and look like anorexic crabs. They grow huge and get legs that are like daddy long legs. I like how they eat too, though it is kinda scary. I hope I never see one in person I would freak. But I probably will never go scuba diving.

Hermit Crabs

I really like hermit crabs. I used to have some but they died a long time ago. They were really cute but I had to get it new shells. I've seen a shell that is clear and it looks nasty. I used to put them on my hand and they would crawl. They have really cute eyes too. With small shells. They can live up to 15 years.

shrimp

Today I am writing about shrimp. They are good bait for fishing and are pretty cheap. They also taste really good with melted butter. They have an exoskeleton and tiny little legs. They are really cute and are good in fish tanks for cleaning it. I am going to put some in our tank at home. I hope they don't die quick and get along with other fish.

I am writing about lobsters today. Lobsters are really cool. They are like the rodents of the sea. The have two large pincers and a tail unlike a crab. They also look cooler. A long time ago they thought it was inhumane to feed lobster to criminals in prison even though now we pay lots of money for it. But fish was okay.

Crabs are really funny to watch. I really like how they walk and run. They also know how to attack people and look really funny doing it. When that swim they look really graceful.  They have so many different kinds of crab. There are blue ones green ones orange ones and many more. I wish I had a crab that didn't pinch me and only others I don't like.

I am hoping that today goes by fast. I know it is a half day but even better. When I go Home I probably wont do much. I just want to leave already but I cant. I also have to go with my dad after school. That will be really boring. But I don't have anyone else who can pick me up.

I am writing about how nothing works in my game when I try to add code. It never works with the rest of my code and it really sucks. It is too hard to do and I kind of don't want to. Then when I add it it gets really glitchy and starts flashing. I try for days to fix it and it still doesn't help. If I could get it to work I would be happy. I hope it starts to work soon.

Over the weekend.

Over the weekend I went to Carancahua bay. I went fishing out there and caught two crabs. We let them go on the peer and they went into this death stance and tried to kill us all. we eventually pushed him over. We never caught anything.
