Tadpole shrimp, belonging to the order Notostraca, are considered "living fossils" and have existed for approximately 200 million years, dating back to the Triassic period. They have changed very little over this vast span of time, showcasing their resilience and adaptability in various aquatic environments.
Triops Longicaudatus, or the tadpole shrimp are omnivorous. They will eat insects, small fish, tadpoles and anything that is smaller than they are, including other tadpole shrimp.

Triops, often referred to as "tadpole shrimp," have a distinctive shape characterized by a broad, flattened body with a large, rounded head and a segmented, elongated tail. They possess a carapace that covers their body, giving them a somewhat prehistoric appearance. Their limbs are adapted for swimming and foraging, and they typically have large compound eyes. Overall, their shape is reminiscent of a small shrimp or a tadpole.
