This is kind of crazy looking. Don't know why they had to kill it.

I would have to call BS. Looks like photo shop work to me.

Not just photo shop, but piecing the two actual body parts together, and then touching up the photos taken with photo shop.

If it is real, then i'm sure there are several more where that one came from. It's not like that one was millions of years old or something.

It looks like a Triops or Tadpole Shrimp on roids. I am sure the size is greatly embelished but then again there was Chernobyl.:lol:

There are several species of triops that have very little info collected about them. www.mytriops.com has some pretty good info. The largest species that is documents is 4-5" for just the body, not including the tail. Though the one in the pic looks to be 10" or so, I wouldn't rule out it being one of the species with very little info ever collected about it.
