Shrimps


Shrimps are a fresh water animal. They are a very hard thing to find in the water because they are see through. When they get bigger they get a red line throw their back.

When the water is calm the shrimps move very slowly but when there tail flicks they move really quickly backwards. They have big black eyes.      Ethan
