A lobster-like beast that lived 500 million years ago has been named after Hollywood actor Johnny Depp because of its 'scissor hand' claws.
The extinct creature called Kooteninchela deppi (pronounced Koo-ten-ee-che-la depp-eye) was named after Depp by scientists from Imperial College London who made the discovery.
Kooteninchela deppi is helping researchers piece together more information about life on Earth during the Cambrian period, which happened more than 1.9million years ago and was when nearly all modern animal types emerged.
