I'm pretty sure they call shrimp prawns so this is not accurate.

Only baby kangaroos are called joeys.

As are baby koalas, baby wallabies, baby wombats, baby possums, baby devils, baby bilbies, baby bandicoots, et al.

Every baby marsupial is a joey.

Shrimps and prawns are 2 different things.

Shrimp are part of the sub-order Pleocyemata, while prawns belong to the sub-order Dendrobranchiata.

I think you'll find that this is the case in every country.

FFS in Australia they are called prawns and the shrimp label will get you a seppo label. It was marketing bullshit and we hate it.
