Animal Facts:
The Cubaris genus comprises over 100 species of terrestrial isopods, belonging to the family Armadillidae. These remarkable creatures are commonly known for their ability to conglobate—rolling into a ball for defense, much like their close relatives, pill bugs. Cubaris species are found in a variety of habitats, often favoring moist, shaded environments. They are known for their lower reproduction rates and longer lifespans compared to other isopods, making them a unique subject in the world of crustaceans.
Among the Cubaris genus, the Rubber Ducky Isopod (Cubaris sp.) has captured the hearts of hobbyists worldwide. This charming species owes its nickname to its face, which bears an uncanny resemblance to a rubber ducky! Native to limestone caves in Southeast Asia, the Rubber Ducky Isopod thrives in high-humidity environments. It has become a superstar in the pet isopod hobby, not only for its unique appearance but also for its playful, endearing nature. Collectors love them for their vibrant yellow and black patterns, making them a delightful addition to bioactive terrariums or as standalone pets.
Fun fact: The Rubber Ducky Isopod is often cited as the species that sparked a global isopod-keeping trend, proving that even the smallest creatures can make a big splash!
Interestingly, Cancer pagurus is a culinary favorite in Europe, especially in the UK, where it’s the main catch in the region's largest crab fishery. With over 60,000 tonnes caught annually, these crabs play a crucial role in the local seafood industry.
Living up to 30 years (or even 100 years in rare cases), these crabs are not only delicious but also important for marine ecosystems. Just watch out for their natural predator: the octopus!🦀
