Do you rate extinct species? Anomalocaris my beloved…

Today on CHUNK! FUNK! GUNK! We rate

the ANOMALOCARIS:

0/10 Chunk

10/10 Funk

0-1/10 Gunk

As a prehistoric shrimp-thing, these guys are mostly exoskeleton, no chunk. I also couldn’t find anything on their slime or mucous secretion, which makes sense since we only have fossils to go off of. I’m left to assume that they were dry little guys. They min-maxed for maximum funk though. Look at this guy. What a creature.

Overall: 7/10

I don’t know a whole lot about fossils since I didn’t have a dinosaur phase. However, I do love a good Cambrian creechur. I want to pat its flat little head.

About the "shrimp is bugs" meme. Taxonomically we try to classify things based on evolutionary ancestry, creating groups called 'clades'. A clade is made up of the last common ancestor for the group and all of the descendants of that ancestor. This system is 'hierarchical', so multiple smaller clades can fit within one larger one. E.g. humans are part of the clade hominoidea, which also includes other apes like chimpanzees and gorillas.

Shrimp and bugs are both arthropods (a clade), but although 'bugs' are a clade (called 'hemiptera') within insects (also a clade within arthropods), 'shrimp' is basically a catch-all term for 'small long-bodied crustacean' (so shrimp don't form a clade).

What's interesting is, until recently crustaceans (including shrimp and a bunch of other things) were thought to form their own clade. But DNA studies have shown that some crustaceans are more closely related to insects (again, including bugs) than they are to other crustaceans. So for our taxonomy to be consistent we'd have to consider all insects as crustaceans.

So shrimp isn't bugs, but in a roundabout way bugs is shrimp.
