      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation

      Carcinisation (American English: carcinization) is a form of convergent evolution in which non-crab crustaceans evolve a crab-like body plan. The term was introduced into evolutionary biology by L. A. Borradaile, who described it as “the many attempts of Nature to evolve a crab”.

      Pretty neat

      Aren’t shrimp and prawn already the exact same thing?

      Like mountain lions and cougars.

        Shrimp vs prawn is colloquial, not a scientific classification, so it varies from place to place and person to person, and depending on the specific animal we’re talking about, but in general

        The ones we call shrimp tend to:

        • Live in salt water
        • Be smaller
        • Have curled bodies
        • Belong to the sub-order pleocytema
        • Have plate-like girls * gills*

        And the ones we call prawns tend to:

        • Live in fresh water
        • Be larger
        • Have straight bodies
        • Helong to the sub-order dendrobranghiata
        • Have branching hills gills
