The Giant Isopod is a scavenger of the deep, deep seas that happens to be distant relative of the woodlouse, or pill bug. It can curl up into a ball of sorts. Want to see? Didn’t think so.
A very special thank you to dear reader Jessica, who surfaced this beast of the benthic zone.
That’s one of my favorites too! Another great picture of this thing: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y224/si_from_leighton_buzzard/BathynomusGiganteus.jpg
