The Giant Isopod has gotten a bit of limelight the last few years. One can find lots of cute isopod plushies now (good) but also lots of pictures showing humans holding them up, poking and prodding and being disgusted at their underbellies (bad). There is some pretty gnarly footage of it’s feeding process, calling it “alien” and “gross”. But isopods can survive for amazing timespans without eating, and when you see a video like that, you never know how long the animal has been starved before it was taken. Let’s show some respect! Maybe not everything was made to be perceived! -- source link
