As a species, it may be 200 million years old, but it was first described in 1899 by the entomologist William Kirby.ON> Credit: Joao Silva/Sygma, for The New York Timeshot stuff2008-11-10 04:22:21
hot stuff Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 In truth, Professor Crump said, Parktown residents should be grateful that it migrated here. Given their druthers, prawns will eat garden snails all night long rather than hop into the dog dishes where they are often found on wet summer mornings. She worries that they may be threatened. Another South Africa native that has adapted to urban gardens, the hadeda ibis, enjoys prawn dinners. Fat gray hadedas, named for their raucous "hah-dee-dah" cries, are on the increase and prawns "are getting harder to find each year," Professor Crump said sadly.

Loon Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 JB... I think you are mistaking them for the ones eaten with garlic, butter and chillie sauces... Never taisted a parktown prawn before. But maybe you could give us a food crit on them... LOL Kiding... Im not being held responsible for a death by parktown prawn hubber...
Canaris Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Australia's animals are not that dangerous if they don't bite you, but if they do you can die with the reassurance that most, if not all, of their spiders and snakes are poisonous.
Loon Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 LOL... They had to control the prisoners somehow back in the days I guess. And the poisonous creatures seemed to have been higher on the food chain
