Notostraca
Also known as the tadpole shrimp, they exist on every continent and primarily live at the bottom of pools and shallow lakes. They are omnivores which allows them to eat both pants and meat, this includes bacteria, algae, to insect larvae. They only live around 100 days, so they have to mature quick and produce more offspring.
