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!

    I like how it swims.
    It holds itself legs in and uses that under tail to swim.
    That's cool.

    Just a really amazing prehistoric looking creature. I bet if I googled this thing they'd be recorded as being around waaaaaaaaay "back in the day". Fascinating to me to see something like this alive after looking at fossils of things so similar looking being alive pre-humans.
