The Giant Isopod's Defensive Armor

Living on the cold, high-pressure seafloor, the giant isopod is a master scavenger. To survive in this harsh environment, it possesses a tough, segmented chitinous exoskeleton that provides protection from predators. When threatened, these creatures can roll into a tight, armored ball, shielding their softer underside from potential harm while they search for fallen organic matter.
