Killer shrimp invade the UK
http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/42528/


"A “killer” shrimp Dikerogammarus villosus has been found in the waters off the UK coast, causing concern among researchers, according to reports on Monday.

The non-native species is known to be invasive and could potentially cause major problems for the U.K.’s water ecosystems."

This is the first I've heard of killer shrimp. Here in Florida, we have several species of fish and snakes that have invaded the reefs and everglades, so we can identify with the Brits.
