Giant isopods can be found in the bottom of seas like Pacific Ocean and South China Sea. Isopods can grow up to a length of around 7.5-14.2 in (19.05 - 36.7 cm) or even more.


The shell of an isopod comes in varieties of brown and pale lilac colors. It is believed that isopods can go a long time without eating as they are in a constant state of hibernation, and they have the ability to slow down their metabolism and energy level.

When isopods are threatened by predators, they curl up into a ball.

It is believed that isopods do not have a proper vision and they use the two sets of antennae they have to experience the environment around them. This helpful sheet can be used to help kids with their coloring skills and also learn some facts about isopods.
