Scientists: Giant cannibal shrimp invasion growing – This Just In - CNN.com Blogs

Oh yeah, and fuck you S.Carolina for endangering our shrimp*.

never heard of them before. Hell I go shrimping Sept-Oct when the season comes in and haven't netted one of these big bastards lately.

Why do we have these fucking things in our labs anyway? Nothing good ever comes of it. Foreign species of all kinds are ruining our waterways. Chinese carp, snakehead fish, these shrimp, and all sorts of invasive critters.
