In spanish we call this animal a gamba. In english it's a shrimp (a prawn in Great Britain). But the thing is that the word shrimp comes from the german (Middle High German) schrimpfen: to wrinkle.
And the word gamba is the same in italian for leg (and shrimp, too).
How many meanings for a little illustration!!

That's the first cute shrimp (crevette in french)I see! A great little illustration :)
They are very tasty, but I stopped eating shrimp when I found out that "Sea Monkeys" were technically shrimp. Now that I have seen this adorable illustration I contiue my pledge of shrimp free meals with renewed vengance. Who would want to eat anything that cute??
pues es una "pequeña" "gamba" muy linda.
cute. But shrimp and prawns are different. Same family, though.
me gusta la carita de sorpresa que tiene :) habrá algún comensal cerca y por eso está así?
gamba en italiano es "gamberetto"...
;o)
And it's a "crevette" in French. I love your illustrations!
