A millipede with 1,300 legs has been found in Australia. It's a new record by far

By News December 18, 2021 Add Comment Edit

The leggiest animal on the planet, Eumillipes persephone, from Australia. (A) female with 330 segments and 1,306 legs (paratype specimen, T147124). (B) ventral view of legs (male holotype, T147101). (C) dorsal view of head and ventral view of gonopods (male holotype, T147101). Scale bars, 0.5 mm.

Entomologists discovered a new species far underground. Despite millipede meaning "a thousand feet," it's the first to have more than 750.
