## Caption

Oceans | These tiny aquatic crustaceans are shrimp. Unlike crabs or lobsters, shrimp have developed the ability to swim. Their tiny legs actually make them weak walkers. There’s a lot of confusion over whether to refer to one of these animals as a shrimp or a prawn. No need to fear, though, they’re the same thing. Both shrimp and prawns are common names, not scientific ones. In fact, there are thousands of species that make up shrimp.
