Isopods - Bathynomus giganteus: The Giant Isopod of the Deep Ocean.

Bathynomus giganteus is one of the largest isopods in the world.

The Bathynomus giganteus is an extraordinary abyssal creature, representing one of many examples of adaptation to life in the deep ocean, and it attracts great interest due to its unusual size and peculiar appearance.
It is a marine crustacean that lives in the depths of the oceans and is known for its impressive size, which can reach up to 50 centimeters in length, much larger than common terrestrial isopods.
It has a flattened, elongated body divided into segments, with a robust chitinous exoskeleton. Its legs are positioned on the sides of the body and are articulated, allowing it to move agilely along the ocean floor.
These crustaceans live in deep waters, usually between 200 and 2,000 meters below sea level, primarily in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coasts of Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico, and the waters around South America.
