Odontonia bagginsi (more commonly known as Hobbit shrimp) is a tiny species of shrimp with eight hairy limbs.[1] It was discovered in 2009 by Leiden University biology student Werner de Gier and shrimp researcher Dr. Charles Fransen in Ternate, Indonesia.[2] The name came from the novel The Hobbit starring Bilbo Baggins as the fictional “hobbit” characters have hairy feet.[3][4][5] Genetic characters of the shrimp were entered in the online database tree of life.[6]
