Hi I am Callum key from 4JW, we have a new class pet - they are called triops.
Information about a Triop
Tail: the tail is called a caudal furcula.
Mouth: The mouth is quiet difficult to actually see as most of the time it is hidden
behind a flap called a labrum,but it is there and if you watch your Triop feeding closely you might even see the mandibles and the maxilla all chomping away, mashing the food up making it easy to swallow. ("That was interesting!")
Trunk : The trunk is bendy bit at the back and is used to flip and flop the body around .
Ventral groove: The hollow that runs up the middle of the underside of the Triop and it is along this that the food particles are pushed.
Wow those Triops are interesting!
At the moment they are very tiny but will grow much bigger soon!
