British expedition discovered in the waters of the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of New Zealand's largest shrimp mire.

The length of the largest representative of crustaceans in its form (see photo) was as much as 28 centimeters, while the usual shrimp reach a length of not more than 2-3 santimetrov.

Scientists at the University of Aberdeen were the first to see this "super giant" at a depth of about 10 kilometers in the waters north of New Zealand while they studied the behavior and lifestyles of other underwater ocean inhabitants, deepwater liparisov.

Researchers greatly surprised his discovery, the amount of which exceeds 10 times the normal oceanic shrimp and even any other amphipod (Amphipoda), as record-holder, the biggest shrimp in the world by size - the average man's foot.
