There are deep sea isopods with legs like sea spiders.
This is Paropsurus. IDK man. No idea WHAT is going on down there.
Isopod literally means "same leg" like the legs are supposed to be "the same" Not... not "crazy out of control legs"
Feels wrong to call it an isopod. More like a spindly-productus-sopod
They are just making creatures up now to see if I'll buy in to it.
@futurebird I follow NautilusLive on instagram and the things that show up there are crazy. They look just as alien as the creatures from the cambrian explosion, except they're still here!
