Giant Isopod heftet sich an Tauchroboter


My god, it's a monster! Wieder was gelernt: (a) auf dem Meeresboden leben Riesenasseln leben (b) die englische Bezeichnung Giant Isopod ist mal wieder sehr viel eleganter und (c) so ein Monster-Pod kann sich schon mal an einen Tauchroboter applizieren, wenn gerade einer vorbeikommt:
"I work for a Sub-sea Survey Company, recently this beast came up attached to one of our ROVs. It measures a wee bit over 2.5 feet head to tail, and we expect it latched onto the ROV at roughly 8500ft depth. Unfortunately, the e-mail that these pictures were attached to came from a contractor, and the ship he was operating from (and therefore location) is unknown, so I can't tell you what part of the Earth this beast was living." My god, it's a monster!
