protectoursharks:Bathynomus giganteus or Giant Isopod Isopods are closely related to crabs and shrimp. There are around 20 different species of giant isopods, and they’re a great example of deep-sea gigantism. This is when animals that live in the deep sea are much larger than their relatives that live in more shallow areas. Marine Isopods in general range from less than 1mm (0.04 in) to the size of this Isopod which is 365mm (14.37 in). -- source link
