Children must have eaten shrimp. We all know that shrimps have many legs. So what do these feet do?

We know that shrimps live in water. So it is easy for us to think that shrimp feet can be used for swimming. That's right, the shrimp has six pairs of flat feet like paddles on its abdomen, and these feet are tools for swimming. But you might not have thought of it. Shrimps don’t always swim in the water. They sometimes crawl slowly underwater. At this time, the shrimp's legs come into play. In addition to swimming and crawling, the shrimp also needs to capture prey, such as small insects on the bottom of the water, to fill its stomach.

Now you know! The legs of shrimp can not only swim, crawl, but also catch prey!
