Triops belong to an ancient group of crustaceans. Two Triops intertwined underwater. Triops are a group of freshwater crustaceans commonly called tadpole shrimp or dinosaur shrimp. They look like ancient armored tadpoles, a look they’ve rocked for hundreds of millions of years. The word “Triops” means “three eyes” in Greek, and the group is so named because they have two main compound eyes and a third simple organ called an ocellus eуe that helps them detect light.

The monkey seemed to be due to some carelessness that it was grasped by the Komodo dragon on the ground. It was bitten by the dragon, and cried out in agony.
