The giant isopod is a fascinating deep-sea creature that belongs to the crustacean family. They are commonly referred to as the "cockroach of the sea" due to their physical appearance and scavenging habits. These creatures can grow up to 2.5 feet in length and weigh as much as 3.5 pounds. Giant isopods have a hard exoskeleton that protects their soft bodies, and they use their sharp claws to break open the shells of their prey.
They typically inhabit the deep waters of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans and are known to live at depths of up to 7,000 feet. While they may not be the most attractive creatures, giant isopods play an important role in the ocean's ecosystem by helping to recycle nutrients and providing a food source for larger marine animals.

I want to congratulate the Giant Isopod for not selling out to Big Crab and not crabifying themselves despite their genetic proximity to crabs.

God they’re a mix of absolute alien horror and the cutest lil Pokémon you can get

[shannongrant]

The underside looks like something out of an Alien movie with Sigourney Weaver in it.

[ctrk_Gltch]

Dude looks like he's boutta tell you about an ancient prophecy that he recovered from the ocean floor

[EthanTone]

I love how when you pick him up he’s just chillen like “yeah you see me”.

Fun fact : The smaller type of isopod is parasitic and lives on the fish gills or tongue, including the fish we eat.
So always check the gills and mouth.

Meanwhile on Isopod Podcast on IsoTube: "This is the human being, they live on the land eating cows and birds, but sometimes come into the sea, where they grow flippers and breathe through magic shells on their back and they never poop."

I ain't fat. I just have deep fried chicken gigantism

[nolol]

the difference between this and a cockroach is that I’m okay existing on the same planet as this lil guy

[Shdw_Mlk_Crk]

When I die I want to be reborn as one. No taxes, no debt, no buying food, just swim.

"You're probably thinking it looks like a giant cockroach"

Na bro, that's a chernobyl roly-poly

[TheHogfatherInvades]

The way they flutter their legs as they swim is cute

[coltispyyoush]

I have a stuffed isopod I snuggle with at night. He keeps the dark dreams at bay... Seeming how he's so used to dark environments and higher pressures inspires me to know I can survive those things too, and he's my guide through the worst of it

[emileyclark]

I remember doing a presentation of the Giant Isopod once. Got Golisopod and Wimpod for introducing me to these little aliens😄

[bigbangtheory]

The part they neglected to mention is these guys can survive on land without water for like, 4 hours.

[imperialdelights]

They're my roommates' worst nightmare and I find them so fucking adorable. One day I hope to pet one

[Astro.biology]

and it actually looks cooler than the average house cockroach

[nigelnigel.]

So cute, he just needs lots of cuddles.

[alekdaniels]

Why is it both cute and terrifying at the same time?
