Although it is called Pippi shrimp, it is still very different from shrimp. Pippi shrimp belongs to mollusca, Carnivora, Gastropoda, Cetaceae and Oratosquilla, while shrimp belongs to Crustacea and Decapoda, which are quite different.

In addition to different species, their living habits are also different. Shrimp mainly lives in water and can also live in fresh water. As a marine creature, Pipi shrimp can only live in the sea and cannot adapt to the fresh water environment. In addition, Pippi shrimp digs holes in the sand bottom of shallow sea, and the holes dug are all U-shaped. There is a big difference between Pipi shrimp and shrimp, so Pipi shrimp is not a shrimp.

The scientific name of Pippi shrimp is squid. They like to feed on some stomatopod animals and small invertebrates. The mouthparts and jaws of Pipi shrimp are very hard, and their teeth have protrusions, which can cut off and grind food. Pipi shrimp's teeth are very sharp and can easily destroy the shell of its prey.

Life habits of Pipi shrimp

Squid lives in caves and often digs caves at the bottom of sand or sediment in shallow water. Most caves are u-shaped. Stomatopod animals are carnivores, preying on small invertebrates. This kind of animal can make a sound by rubbing the ventral surface of caudate segment with its tail limb or hitting it with its prey limb. Shrimp Pippi has a fierce personality, a hard shell, good eyesight and is good at swimming. When they are caught, they bend their tails to protect their second half.

Squid is fierce in temperament and keen in vision. Because it is good at swimming, its prey are mostly benthic organisms that are not good at swimming, including all kinds of shellfish, crabs, sea urchins and so on. They can easily destroy the hard outer shell of their prey and enjoy the meat inside.
