Giant cuddly isopod


Are you a fan of the giant tongue-eating isopod? You read this blog, so of course you are.

Reportedly when it was introduced, the entire stock of 140 sold out immediately, even at about 60 dollars apiece.  Here's another photo with a guy from the Numazu Deep Sea Aquarium for scale:

Oh my Gosh! Where can I buy one? I've searched all over and I can't find a source.

I'm afraid you'll have to go to Japan. As far as I can tell none of their zoos and aquariums ever have online shops.
