Scientists baffled by giant shrimp in Ukraine

[supercs2006]

this is what is known as a Triop

[MagicMutilator6000]

it's a delicacy called the chernobyl shrimp, and it's delicious.

[BTownMiss]

[mzh3000]

[antasaur]

I mean Triops

[antasaur]

giant trilobyte

[sharilyn777]

they're going to kill it by poking it with a freaking stick...

[sharilyn777]

ITS A USELESS TRIOPS, PEOPLES!!

[dianaalva1]

its wabafet

[cheesburgerlolcats]

ITS A MUDKIP 

[TheyCallMeMarcus]

hahahahaha they are stupid its a triops

[hotshot556677]

is a TRIOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bdoll34]

ITS A DALEK GRAB THE SONIC SCREWDRIVER!!!

[pikedeath1]

its a FREAKING TRIOPS PEOPLE!!

[programedmind]

the only reason why scientists are baffled is they dont know how it escaped the lab.

[theboxoftech]

There just Large Triops, i would of thought scientists would of had an explanation for there size!

[FUCKyouANDyourDOG]

One word: Chernobyl

[katiewolf1100]

BRICK!! ITS A BRICK!

[kelvin2187]

oversized triops? o.o

[Peter5930]

@kelvin2187 Normal sized triops. The picture is blurry because they're holding their crappy phone camera so close to it that the lens can't focus the image. Take a look at my triops videos and see how huge I can make them appear; I have clips of triops that loom over the camera while in such sharp focus that you can see the hairs on their legs and the serrations on their mandibles.

[hotshot556677]

@kelvin2187 IT'S AN ADULT TRIOPS 

[TheRaymondFactor]

IT'S A GIRAFFE!!!!

[reckneya]

Note that in the Ukraine they do not have the technology that allows for both the right AND left speaker to produce sound.

Stands to reason as it seems that research of an Arthropod in the Ukraine is done by discomforting the creature by means of taking the animal which is depended on water for its respiratory system out of the water on land and repeatedly turn it with a stick while apparently commenting on its attempts to survive the terrible situation.

Now who said Ukraine is primitive, huh?

[sonofthesun2188]

there is nothing shrimp about that shrimp.

[Petrander]

Triops numidicus can get up to five inches long.

[bentleydoritos165]

haha holy crap giant triop!!

[Mgrizdale]

Triop

[Dama682]

@Mgrizdale

Tadpole shrimp = triops.

I think the "baffled" aspect of it is how it got to be 4x larger than the average Triops size.

[Mgrizdale]

@Mgrizdale Lol i know

[XxXmalaybabeXxX]

LEAVE IT ALONEE!!!! STOP POKING ITTT. CANT U SEE ITS IN AGONY!

[GottaRapemall1]

Get the fucking pokedex

[exa0777]

lol. triopes freak me the fuck out. they look like 3 eyed horseshoe crab cock roaches. haha

[MEATYOKERRable]

Uhhhh Chernobyl?

[Vampiricmoon]

@MEATYOKERRable It is actually a Triope.

[ErgensUit1987]

It almost looks like a horseshoe crab.

[SolidGamer400]

[Hennfam719]

[PecMoneyMan2]

[KrazyKuKluxKiller]

I'm so hungry right now...

[avaloscesar]

[Devoltivavio]

@vaultboyhunter2077 looool!!!

[69mrcrash]

[superfishle]

[macrosoft01]

[Mrgarfield423]

its a giant TRIOP!!!! I WANT IT!!!! PLZ!!!

[Gremy14]

I choose you kabuto! Use splash attack!

[Roscoe909]

the scientists n ukraine have resorted to conducting their studies by repeatedly poking with a stick? lol

[NSK631]

@Roscoe909 It was caught by fisherman and they were poking it with a stick

[Animehem]

@NSK631 little do you know poking something with a stick is one of the most complex and innovative ways of conducting a scientific experiment in the field 0.o

[KarboNeTikz]

@Roscoe909 LMFAO! Nice =D

[mitcn012]

LOL! That is a triop. They are prehistoric creatures I'm growing some now. Somone must have set one free, that's all! And scientists are the ones who lab-raised the eggs!!!

[funfamily07]

its a giant triop!!!! ahhhh

[mssucks3462]

mutant shrimp XD

[nickgbruns]

@HappyGuyxlii I thought you were joking at first, but then I realized you were just retarded. Irradiating something doesn't make something grow bigger, it breaks the DNA up and gives it malignant tumors (you might want to try rolling around in some cesium isotopes just to make sure). Btw, Chenynobl was landlocked... so...

[zachn11]

radiated shrimp ?

[dwk002]

It is a triops

[yavin99]

its a good thing they had a stick handy to poke it with

[NewEraRS]

They look like giant versions of them Sea Monkeys or Triop World Things

[herreryx]

Let's kill it so we can preserve it in formaldehide... Yeah I know... Poke it with a stick.

[Masounification]

if you like it so much keep it IN the water!!!!

[DoctorSaqib]

looks like those triops i bought yesterday. FAIL

[CyberFur]

ever herd of triops

[DisneyfansEJ]

hey guys, iknow! if we take it out of the water and shorten its life span we'll get to study it further!

[007ijack]

jesus that looks delicious

[ishallkillall]

a Shrimp? wtf yall talking about its thos things u find fossilized on Florida's coast

[ilovetriops99]

It is only a Triops with a growth hormone or something

[HappyGuyxlii]

Ohai Chernobyl. I bet you have NOTHING to do with contamination or mutation of any sort within, say thousands of miles of what happened. Right?

RIGHT?!?!

(come on reporters. Are you that stupid? Does this not scream radioactivity to you?)

[Philipphamburg1970]

This is a Triops !!

[MarcusLKF001]

could be a giant triop? ==

[Map10193808]

IN SOVIET RUSSIA, THE SHRIMP EAT YOU!

[VovixLDR]

Donetsk = E ua != W

[rickjhee]

It's a fucking triops man, family of T. granarius i think

[goerizal]

a horseshoe crab?

[jaffabend]

Quick! Get some vodka and mayonnaise...

[remembercoment]

[rotflmfaololzomg]

[sirHITLER]

[eterpe1]

[werewolfpup3]

GIANT TRIOP. :l

[starstarstar42]

"giant...shrimp"

Isn't that an oxymoron? Kind of like "act naturally" or "Anarchy Rules!"?

[rhian1234567890]

this is totally curtis triops

[penguinshamrock]

Triop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cdmaster35]

the chernobyl nuclear plant still spews raddiation today

[Phacias]

@cdmaster35 And creates over 6.5 kg of plutonium annually. Yes.

[GurtMcDirt]

Triops, they rarely do grow to that size.

[TheSvastika]

LOL

THE AMERICAN AND BRITAIN HAVE THE BEST NEWS

[sweetypie000]

man dosen't know what it is so he pulls it from the sea, pokes it with a stick, kills it and puts it in a jar

[GroinStabbingPro]

In Soviet Russia, Shrimp pokes you!

[mercanaries3]

@GroinStabbingPro

In Socialist America retards attack you!

[GroinStabbingPro]

[mercanaries3]

@GroinStabbingPro

[Icix1]

Years of organic persistent pollutants no doubt....

[Peanut9Donut]

[Retcrow]

So what do we do? Poke it with a stick.

[deadeye851]

[lxRandomAznxl]

[GrantLeBon]

This would be the Triop that, under threat from a Triop by anovva bloke, Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee would pull out and say, "That's not a Triop. THAT's A TRIOP!!!

[sanjashotgun]

OMG, NOT A OVERGROWN TRIOP!

[sven7ksrg]

[Thezroweman]
