any isopod? deep sea, rubber ducky, roly-poly, whatever!! :D
Of course my friend! Sorry for the wait, finals are coming up :P but are you ready for some incredible isopods!!!?!?!
Giant Isopods are scavengers, and rely on food falling from higher in the water column; for example, parts of decaying marine animals closer to the surface of the ocean that drift down towards the sea bed. This decaying material is known as ‘marine snow’ and is what isopods feed on. Due to the lack of light, it is rare to find any other type of food on the ocean floor. The nature of marine snow means that it can be hard to come by, and isopods have adapted to patiently wait for the nourishment they need to survive, meaning they have an extremely slow metabolism and are always in a state of semi-hibernation. An isopod kept in captivity in Japan was observed to last for five years without feeding. They conserve their vital energy only for necessary movement and respiration.
Rubber Ducky Isopods are also known to be great at adapting to different environments. They can survive in a variety of conditions, from dry to damp and from hot to cold. They have a high tolerance for environmental changes. That’s why they can survive in a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels
Pill bugs (Roly-Polys) breathe with gills, like their ancestors. While gills are great in the water, they are not ideal on land because they can dry out. To preserve moisture and avoid desiccation, pill bugs are active at night and spend the daylight hours in wet, damp areas under things like logs, mulch, and stones, where they can roll into a ball to protect any moisture they have on their gills.
Those are the three you mentioned so those are the three you shall get :) Hope you learned something new! Have a wonderful day my friend!
