Can I get some isopods?
ISOPODS!
Here, this is my absolute favorite isopod species...
Real Isopod Hours? Sure!
On November 30, 2017, while exploring in the Gulf of Mexico, we encountered this nearly 30-centimeter (12-inch) giant deep-sea isopod (Bathynomus giganteus) at a depth of ~810 meters (2,660 feet). These giant isopods are a great example of deep-sea gigantism, as most isopods in the deep sea are much smaller, about the size of your thumbnail. While we often see these giant underwater 'pill bugs' resting on the seafloor, we don't always get to see them swim, so seeing this isopod come in for a landing was exciting!
