Triops ( Tadpole Shrimp )

On this episode of Wonders of the West, Julie Wignall tells us about a unique ancient creature that calls Nevada home.

What is the weight of a Triops Longicaudatus?

Hey, my sister has to do a report on a Triops Longicaudatus. (This is the scientific name.) It is also known as an aquasaur, longtail tadpole shrimp, American tadpole shrimp, or rice tadpole shrimp. While she has been able to find all the information she needs, she cannot find the weight of the thing.

Thanks in advance for all the help, we look forward to reading your answers.
