Giant Isopods
Giant isopods look downright prehistoric—like, what you’d expect to see in a King Kong movie. These bottom-feeding crustaceans are distantly related to pill bugs, or roly-polys, and they can reach a full foot in length. Giant isopods are a rare example of deep-sea gigantism, an evolutionary feat made possible by their incredibly patient metabolisms (they can go a year or more between meals).

A fascinating experiment from 2019 showed these creatures at work, as they slowly demolished on an alligator carcass at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. Watch if you dare.
