There is a lot of food in NetDoudo, and it is fast.

The strange shrimp coexist with these two predation methods.

This indirectly shows that even marine overlords have fierce competition for survival, and they need to evolve more advanced predation methods to meet survival needs.

In addition, research has also found that although the strange shrimp is called shrimp, it actually has no relationship with our modern shrimp.

Qizhe is a big man more than 500 million years ago. It is more than two meters long. It may be because it is too big. Most of the preserved fossils are fragmented and can only be fully seen after combining them.

Scientists discovered the remains of small shelled animals in fossils of strange shrimp feces, which shows that it is a carnivore in the Cambrian ocean, the ruler of the ocean world and the ultimate consumer of food.

The discovery of strange shrimps shows that there was indeed a complete food chain in the ocean at that time.

New research has found that the predatory limbs of the shrimp can be bent and the legs can walk on the seabed, but its appendages do not differentiate and joints are missing between the joints.

The recipe for the Spicy Shrimp may include other carnivores.

Its body, mouth, and a pair of large capturing organs can prey on the largest living creatures at that time. It will definitely not only eat creatures at the lowest point in the food chain, because its claws are too thick, so it is not so easy to grab tiny food.

No one would think that in the ocean at that time, the strange shrimp was not the fittest.

It can be called a giant in the ocean, at the top of the food chain, and can easily hunt enough food, but no other creature can threaten its survival.

However, just like the dinosaurs that once dominated the land, the strange shrimp was so mysteriously extinct at the end of the Cambrian period.

The shrimp has lobe-mounted wings on both sides of the body, which resembles a modern shrimp. The two tentacles are covered with barbs and the mouth is made of carapace.

In the past, paleontologists generally believed that the structures of strange shrimps could be hunted and chewed trilobites, which was more reasonable.

However, in Denver, Colorado, the Geology Society held an annual seminar, which showed a 3D diorama of the mouth of the strange shrimp, showing that the ancient carnivore that everyone imagined was probably only eating soft lake-like food.

Studies have shown that strange shrimps mainly eat soft foods, such as insects in mud, soft microorganisms floating in the water, etc.

Therefore, it is very controversial whether the strange shrimp will feed on another famous animal, trilobite, during the Cambrian period.

Trilobites are also a typical representative animal of the Cambrian period, with extremely hard shells.

Someone once found bite marks of different sizes on the trilobite fossils found.

In the excrement of the strange shrimp, some people also found the hard shell of the trilobite.

However, some people raised doubts, saying that there are no residues in the stomach or excrement of the shrimp, which are difficult for trilobites to digest, and the shrimp's mouth is not enough to bite the hard shell of the trilobites.

So, some people suggested that it might be that the shrimps had tried to feed on trilobites and chew on trilobites, but they still couldn't bite them in the end, so they spit them out again.

But no matter whether the strange shrimp can eat trilobites, there is one thing that Moyong doubts.

That is, in the ocean at that time, the strange shrimp was an invincible existence, and no creature could threaten its survival.

The strange shrimp was first discovered in Canada. At that time, only one fossil with its front paw was found, which was mistaken for the shrimp's tail.

Scientists also imagined a shrimp head, which was named strange shrimp since it was not a shrimp.

In 1994, Chinese scientists discovered complete strange shrimp fossils in the Maotian Mountains, correcting their past mistakes. The so-called tail is actually its claws.

The most complete fossil of strange shrimps was unearthed in the shale in Maotian Mountain, my country.

In 1992, a road was built on the northern slope of Maotian Mountain, and the bulldozer launched a huge section, giving the strange shrimp fossils a chance to be discovered.

At the beginning of the discovery, only the end of the anterior appendage was exposed.

Driven by curiosity, experts from a geological and paleontology institute started repairing it on the spot in the field.

When the complete pair of foreapple and head were revealed, the researchers couldn't help but shouted in excitement.

The appearance of the first specimen of strange shrimp led to the emergence of the third complete specimen of strange shrimp.

In fact, this third fossil of strange shrimp was collected by scientific researchers from the Institute of Southern Ancient 1990, but its strange shape was confusing, so it was left alone in the office pallet for nearly two years.

With the restoration of the specimen, a complete image of a fierce predator appeared before people's eyes.

This monster leads to unsolved mysteries of all sizes.

For example, the recipe for the Spicy Shrimp is not yet known.

Some people believe that this organism feeds on trilobites, and evidence includes the widespread damage like bite marks on trilobites fossils during the Cambrian period.

But recently, some experts have questioned this view.

First of all, there are no fossils of strange shrimp feces, and there are no residual substances in the stomach.

Moreover, the mouth of Qizhe does seem too weak to crush the trilobite's shell.

Some paleontologists insist that the main food of shrimp is soft microorganisms.

Another unsolved mystery is that the strange shrimp is one of many strange creatures that appeared during the Cambrian period of life explosion.

But humans have never found an ancient creature representing their ancestors, such as Qizhe, as if they suddenly appeared on this planet.

What is even more incredible is that there is no evidence that Cambrian organisms are simpler than today's living organisms, such as having fewer cell types or more primitive eye structures; on the contrary, the animal forms of the Cambrian era were both complex and exquisite.

Scientists cannot give a reasonable explanation for this.

Moreover, the creature Qizhe is generally more than thousands of times larger than other creatures of the same period.

In addition, how the strange creature, Qizhe, disappeared into the ocean is also an unsolved mystery.

Before, the latest fossil of strange shrimp discovered by humans was 4.400 million years ago.

Paleontologists speculate that it may be like dinosaurs who were starved to death due to their loss of species advantage, and the strange shrimps did not escape the fate of extinction.

But this is not realistic at all, because since the strange shrimps, the size of marine life has become larger and larger.

Even those giants can find sufficient food in the ocean. The strange shrimps that have existed on this planet for 100 million years have no reason to starve to death because they cannot find enough food to meet their survival needs.
