Giant Isopod
Have you ever played with those roly-poly bugs you found in your backyard as a kid? Well, meet the pill bug’s giant cousin. This enormous relative can measure as large as 16 inches, although the largest on record was a whopping 2.5 feet! And for a creature with 14 legs, that’s a lot of isopod.

This distant cousin of the crab scavenges along the deepest parts of the ocean floor. He’ll eat the remains of dead fish and any other detritus that falls from the upper parts of the water. However, you aren’t likely to find one of these creatures on your own (lucky for you!). They live up to 1600 feet below the surface, where hardly any sunlight can penetrate.
