Glyptonotus! Really pleased to find a Glyptonotus isopd in a rock pool. These are giant isopods in Antarctic that take the niche of crabs. This one is half the size they can get to, and it like something out of Alien! And the Alien link goes further. I am not sure if it was still alive, but the body cavity was full of small parasitic amphipods that start to eat from the inside whilst the isopod is still alive! #glyptontus #silverendeavour #silverseacruises #antarcticexperience #antarcticwildlife https://www.instagram.com/p/Co7JdvquDrj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
