This year's Beijing Aquarium Shrimp and Crab Exhibition brought together nearly 100 rare species of shrimps and crabs at home and abroad, including 45 species of live shrimps and crabs with special features from all over the world, including boiled lobster, head and neck crab, American shrimp, king crab, deep-sea armed crab, coconut crab and other rare species. Even the millipede, which can fast for five years, was exhibited in China for the first time. 24 species of shrimp and crab specimens were also exhibited at the scene. The lowest water temperature of low temperature species reaches 2, and that of normal temperature species does not exceed 25. There are 19 small exhibition tanks and 12 mobile exhibition tanks. Let you not go abroad to feast your eyes.
Hundreds of millions of years of evolution have also given millipedes excellent viability. In the depths of the ocean from hundreds of meters to thousands of meters, the temperature is as low as 0 degrees and food is scarce. You can see the figure of the king foot worm. They struggled against cold and hunger alone and survived tenaciously.
Because of this, it is difficult for the king foot worm to be captured by humans. If you want to go to some restaurants in Japan and spend a lot of money to taste this exotic food, you may only get "parallel imports"-Dow deep-water lice that look like millipedes.
On Valentine's Day in 20 14, the king "1" suffering from foot worms was declared dead in the Japanese aquarium. At this time, it has been fasting for 5 years and 43 days, setting a world record for the longest animal hunger strike.
What is even more unexpected is that this hunger strike also detonated the business of Japan's "king of insects and roasted seeds and nuts". Although the queen's foot worm looks a little scary, it is actually a strange food. It is said that its meat is like lobster and tastes good.
Since the king was famous for his foot worms, people have found it to be first-class delicious. However, it is difficult to be caught, because millipedes usually live in deep and cold oceans.
Therefore, most of the people on the table are "knockoffs" of another creature, the Dow deep-water louse. These two very similar creatures belong to isopods, and they are changing our understanding of evolution.
