River Treasure

Upon arriving at work a few weeks ago, one of our night guards, Yanto, had kept his fishing net busy in the wee hours of the morning.

He hauled up this bizarre transparent and blue shrimp.  I had never seen anything like it, and even our other local guys have rarely seen one so big.

Through his semi-transparent exoskeleton you could see his lungs working as well as his heart.

I'll need to keep having my camera ready because Yanto already has a reputation of hauling out some weird creatures from the river.  It amazes me how many different species of animals that live in the river.  Anybody want to go tubing?
