"As anyone who has watched a David Attenborough doc will know, the world of nature is full of infinite wonder. That doesn&amp;#039;t stop us from being utterly amazed when we see something quirky, though, like when this snap of a supergiant amphipod landed on our desks today. Just don&amp;#039;t call it a shrimp!  &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Gunshot shrimp&amp;#039; found in UK waters &amp;gt; Running shrimp becomes web sensation The crustacean was found in the Kermadec Trench, north of New Zealand by researchers from the University of Aberdeen and the National Institute of Water &amp;amp; Atmospheric Research. Your average deep sea amphipods are around 2-3cm long, and while you get some so-called &amp;#039;giant&amp;#039; types in Antarctica, they still look titchy compared to this beast. The best thing is, the scientists weren&amp;#039;t even looking for the shrimps. They were actually on the hunt for some rare deep sea snailfish. Voyage leader Dr Alan Jamieson of University of Aberdeen&amp;#039;s Oceanlab said: &amp;quot;At the moment the traps came on deck we were elated at the sight of the snailfish as we have been after these fish for years. &amp;quot;However, seconds later I stopped and thought, &amp;#039;What on earth is that?&amp;#039; whilst catching a glimpse of an amphipod far bigger than I ever thought possible.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
