《大王具足蟲》/Giant Isopod

軟甲綱
等足目
大王具足蟲屬

大王具足蟲是侏儸紀便存在的活化石，活體首次發現於1879，在那個對深海所知有限的時代是一大發現，科學界也因此確定了生物能在深海環境中生存。它們屬於於食腐動物，可在170m~2140m深的海底活動。為了適深海應極端環境，除了能夠捲成球狀抵禦攻擊的外殼外，大王足具蟲還能夠長時間停止進食並降低新陳代謝，大副減緩生長速度(已知最長紀錄5年)。
作品《大王具足蟲》以黃銅閃亮質感呈現鱗狀外骨骼曲線，並雕刻了精細的腹部細節，搭配手折黃銅扣環，兼具質量與質感。相信能為生物愛好者增添不少生活趣味。

Giant isopod is a living fossil that exist since Jurassic period. It live at depth between 170m ~ 2140m cold water and eat falling debris and dead creature on sea floor. As food is scarce in the deep-ocean biome, Giant isopod can servive without food for long period.
In the work "Giant Isopod", I made a proper size to show its curved exoskeleton and details on the abdomen with brass.The unique shape of the handmade ring adds more handicraft feeling to this work. I belive a biology lover will like it.
