Shrimp on a Treadmill(:
Scientists put shrimp on a treadmill? Well, it's true, scientists put shrimp on a treadmill to learn about marine animal's immune system. The studies showed that healthy shrimp ran a lot faster than sick shrimp. The healthy shrimp ran at an average speed of 20 meters per minute. Sick shrimp would didn't do as well as the healthy shrimp. The sick shrimp would lack in doing a lot of things like finding food, migrating, and even avoid being eaten. I think this experiment is really cool. Marine animals are my favorite and I think it would be cool to learn more about them. (:
