Brain video

In the video it stated that the world with no challenges we wouldn't grow. Our brain makes connections when we make mistakes because it corrects our brain. If there were no mental stimulation less neurons would connect. That is not good. If we do have challenges we learn to overcome them. The brain can be worked out like a muscle. The more you use it the better it gets ; and stronger.

Today I am going to start on arthropods

An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Arthropods form the phylum Arthropoda, and include the insects, arachnids, myriapods, and crustaceans. They mainly are bugs spiders. They are usually ugly and creeps. Every day you see arthropods. Most of the time you kill them. Or you eat them.(crabs)

During spring brake

During spring brake I will probably go fishing. I hope we catch some kind of crustacean. We will see lots of  barnacles, those are crustaceans. Or some crabs. We will use shrimp we  catch with a net for bait. Also we can catch some fish. That would be cool.

King crabs

King crabs are really big and tasty.  They are really spiky and hard to break open. They taste best with butter. I have cut myself before trying to eat them. It is fun to watch them walk around.They have a lot of meat in them too. But it tastes more fishy than most.

Barnacles (Crustaceans)

Barnacles are really ugly. On whales they grow on them like pimples. They live in permanent shells that open when feeding and close for holding water. They can also be parasites that harm. They are really nasty and crusty. I would hate to have a barnacle on me. But I do like how they eat.

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.
