Here is what the beginning of the article says:
"[url "http:///outdoor/blog/32622/astonishing+discovery+of+supergiant+crustaceans+made+off+new+zealand/"]Astonishing discovery of 'supergiant' crustaceans made off New Zealand[/url]By: [url "http:///outdoor/blog/?by=Pete Thomas"]Pete Thomas[/url], GrindTV.com
There are ordinary [url "http://museumvictoria.com.au/crust/amphbiol.html"]amphipods[/url], known to be mostly tiny shrimp-like crustaceans that thrive in aquatic environments around the world, and now there are "supergiant" amphipods, which are 10 times larger and, frankly, quite freakish-looking."

I'ma thinnin a little garlic, some butter - maybe a bit of creole spice . . .
Saw a show with Shrimp out beating up on invading crabs - was pretty impressed at how aggressive they could be. One of those shows with all the underwater sound effects. And between claws, teeth, pincers - makes me glad to be a land-lubber!

And you thought those last ones were big, check out this giant shrimp:
[inline moregaintshrimp.jpg]
The influx of the jumbo-sized shrimp (which look more like a small lobster than the little pink crustaceans you see at the grocery store) has increased 10 times in the last year, according to a report from the U.S. Geological Survey—from 32 in 2010 to 331 in 2011. The shrimp-eating shrimp have been spotted in waters from North Carolina to Texas.
The black-and-white-striped sea creatures have shown up in the Gulf of Mexico and Southeast coast and, unlike their bottom-feeding cousins, are big enough—up to 13 inches long and up to a quarter-pound—to gobble up smaller shrimp.
