1. Crab & I think the little thing is a mantis shrimp (break out the butter)

2. Not sure- looks like a crab but could be very small larval stage of something else. Might even make a good skirt on a bass spinnerbait...

3. Some sort of shark, perhaps a young one?

4. Hillary Clinton

5. Helen Thomas on a good day

6. I have no idea- looks like a immature paddlefish relative... or something Barney Frank would keep on his night stand.

7. Ted Kennedy

8. An eel and a squid mixed couple
