Discovery of the giant red bag that lives under the sea in Indonesia

 

First the worldwide outbreak of the corona virus and then the locust heart attack in many parts of the world, this year the news about science has been fairly uncommon.

 

Scientists in Indonesia have now proclaimed that they have exposed one of the world's largest crustaceans in terms of size, which they call the Big Red Bag. Crabs and prawns fit to the Christian family.

This new being fits to the genus Bethenomus, which is a big animal whose bodies are mottled and stiff, and they look like insects but are much larger than them. They live in profound waters.

 

These Bethanomus Rakasa are found in the sea between the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra at a complexity of 957 to 1259 meters. In Indonesian, rakasa means huge. They are also found in the Indian Ocean.

 

When young, these red bags spread a size of 33 cm, which is measured to be a very big size. Other types of bethanomes can produce up to 50 cm from head to tail.

"It's really big, and it's the second-largest species in the family of such animals," said Koni Margarita Sedabeluk, who ran the study and is united with the Indonesian Organization of Sciences (LIPI).

 

There are presently only seven known species of asopods in the biosphere.

 

This is the first time that bethanomes have been exposed in the deep sea of ​​Indonesia. The research team speaks little research has been complete in the part.

 

Kahio Rahmadi, head of the biology department at LIPI, says the detection designates how much biodiversity there is in Indonesia that leftovers to be investigated. According to the Museum of Natural History in London, there are many scientific sentiments as to why these sea beings are so large.

 

One concept is that animals that live so profound in the ocean need more oxygen, so they have greater bodies and longer legs.

 

One of the details they produce up is that the less animals that quarry on them so unfathomable in the ocean, the calmer they are to grow up.

 

In adding, Bethanomus animals have less meat in their bodies, such as crabs, which is why other hunters are less absorbed in them.

 

These animals have long projections on their heads that help them walk in the dark.

However, they look odd but do not trouble much.

 

These animals mostly wander the seabed and eat the food deceitful around or left by others instead of hunting.

 

According to the Museum of Natural History, their digestive system is very slow, so they can live for a long time without food. One such large animal was reserved in Japan and lived without food for five years

The latest research is a combined exertion of LIPI, the National University of Singapore and the Lee Kang Chen Natural History Museum.

 

In 2018, throughout their two-week research work, the squad composed thousands of beings from 63 dissimilar places and exposed a dozen new species.

 

The team discovered two examples of bethanomes, one male and one female. The male was 36.03 cm in size while the female was 29.08 cm.
