Giant Isopod
The Giant Isopod is a large crustacean that lives in deep ocean waters. It can grow up to 16 inches long and has a segmented body covered with a hard shell. These creatures are related to shrimp and crabs, but they have a more flattened appearance and are often grayish or brown in color.
Giant isopods are scavengers, feeding on dead marine animals that sink to the ocean floor. They have large compound eyes and can survive in extreme conditions, including high pressure and low temperatures. Their unique adaptations make them well-suited for life in the deep sea.
