This peculiar looking creature was found after it latched on to a submarine and was dragged up to the surface.
You might be forgiven for believing this to be an April Fool however giant isopods are indeed real creatures, they live in the depths of the sea and feed on dead whales, fish and squid.
A bizarre-looking giant crustacean has been found after it latched onto a submarine deep underwater and was dragged to the surface, according to reports.

That thing looks like it would latch onto your spine and drink all your spinal fluid and then take control of your body while you try to wear a giant coat to cover it up Ahahaa exactly. But really, nothing too exciting here. Maybe if the whole sub was covered in them. That'd just be cool.

Apparently wood lice (pill bugs) are a traditional foot, there are the same family as prawn/crab/lobster. They are apparently nice fried. I'v always called them Potato Bugs

They are real, and are eaten in some parts of the world (Indonisia i think), they kinda taste like lobster from what i have heard. They are harmless, if a little scary looking.
