Nick sent this picture to me first thing this morning and I about choked on my coffee and instantly felt nauseous when I opened the link from The Chive. After much deliberation with Nick and Keripedia, we discovered these rolli-polli like creatures are called 'Giant Isopod's.' And they're disgusting. And they like Doritos.
HERE are some fun facts about these gigantic, horribly gross creatures:
-they can be found in the cold, deep waters of the Atlantic
-they range anywhere from 7.5-14 inches in size
-they are carnivorous and feed on dead whales, fish and squid (and Doritos)
-French zoologist Alphonse Milne-Edwards was the first to describe the genus in 1879
You're welcome!
