Mounted Deep Sea Littleneck in Antique Stolp - A Unique Piece from the Depths of the Ocean

This stuffed deep-sea woodlouse (Bathynomus giganteus) in an ancient bell jar is a fascinating taxidermy object that brings the mysterious world of the deep sea to the surface. The Bathynomus giganteus, also called giant woodlouse, is an impressive species belonging to the Isopoda family that lives on the ocean floor, often at depths of hundreds to thousands of meters. This imposing animal can grow up to 50 centimeters long, making it one of the largest crustaceans from the deep sea.

This deep-sea woodlouse has been carefully prepared and placed in an antique bell jar, giving it a special, almost historic look. The bell jar provides perfect protection for this rare taxidermy piece, meticulously preserving every detail of its armor, segments and distinctive eyes. The animal is positioned in a natural pose, giving the impression that it is still moving on the ocean floor. The combination of the antique bell jar and the fascinating appearance of the Bathynomus giganteus makes this taxidermy object a unique and decorative piece.

An interesting fact about the giant woodlouse is that, like other deep-sea creatures, it must endure extreme conditions, such as high pressure and low temperatures. Its armor provides protection and insulation, and it has an extremely slow metabolism, allowing it to survive for extended periods of time without food. As a result, it can go weeks to months without food, waiting for organic material to slowly sink to the depths.

A stuffed deep-sea woodlouse in an antique bell jar is an extraordinary decorative object that fits perfectly into the collection of taxidermy and natural history art enthusiasts. It is a true conversation piece and brings out a piece of the mysterious ocean world. With its unique look and rarity, this taxidermy specimen will enrich any room with its mystical and exotic charm.
