因为其在近220万年间未曾改变，所以恐龙虾被视为世界上现存最古老的物种。
It is considered to be possibly the oldest living species in the world, because it has remained nearly unchanged for an estimated 220 million years.
研究稀有小型虾类的科学家拉里·格里芬（Larry Griffin）说，“三眼恐龙虾迅速长成，并在数周内产下数百颗卵。
Scientist Larry Griffin who has studied the rare shrimp, said, “Triops matures rapidly and produces hundreds of eggs in just a couple of weeks.
使恐龙虾在几次重大的物种灭绝中存活下来的不仅仅是其卵强大的生存能力，还要归功于其独特的生理构造。恐龙虾是雌雄同体生物，一个个体就能繁衍出一个群体。
Not only are the shrimp unique for having survived several major extinctions, they also can have both male and female reproductive parts so just one can generate a new colony.
