It's My Birthday, and I Wants It!
30" long Bathynomus giganteus
Gonna ned a REAL big fish tank!
Scientists studying the photos and the technician's description suggest the creature is probably a Bathynomus giganteus, or a giant isopod. This very large crustacean is a scavenger that feeds on dead whales, fish and squid that sink to the bottom, and hangs out in deep Atlantic and Pacific waters.
