Interesting Article- Fossils

This is from yahoo, seen it on my front page a little while ago. Living fossils, organisms that havent changed in millions of years.

There a quite a few aquatic species on there, some we should be somewhat familiar with.

Watch the videos too, pretty amazing stuff.

Very cool. That shark is by far the coolest IMO. I like that one. The mantis shrimp surprised me. I think I need a species tank soon with one of these.

 

i liked the frog he was funky. good post

 

Good luck with that, you might want to do some research on them first. I did a little search on the mantis shrimp after I read that article. They will pretty much destroy anything, and it sounds like they could possibly rip your fingers off- I would hate to put my hand in that tank.

I also heard that they can become strong enough to shatter an aquarium glass with a single shot at it with its claws or pinchers or whatever.

Kind of interesting but I hope you have some thick glass to contain one of those.

 

i love this stuff

 

Good find! Interesting read. Thanks for posting!
