could I get some cursed biology facts about shrimp please? thank you!
shrimp are normally pretty slow swimmers, using their swimmerets as paddles to cruise slowly through the water looking for food!

but in an emergency, shrimp can skedaddle AMAZINGLY fast, scooting away at about 30 body-lengths-per-second over short distances, which is so quick that they straight-up look like they're teleporting.
