Scientists have discovered a species… «centipede“, But it does not have 40 feet but …1.306, more than any other animal, as they claim. In particular, so far no animal with more than 750 feet had been found.
According to the APE BPE, researchers from the US and Australia, led by Paul Marek of Virginia Tech University and State University, which published the report in the journal Scientific Reports, made the discovery at a depth of 60 meters below the ground, in a drilling hole in a mine in Eastern Australia .
This is a new species hitherto unknown millipede, named “Eumillipes persephone“, Including in the name the ancient Greek goddess Persephone of the underworld.
Scientists have found four members of the new species and, after studying them, found that they have long thread-like bodies, consisting of 330 sections, with a total length of up to 95.7 mm and a width of 0.95 mm.
They have no eyes, their legs are short and their heads are conical in shape with antennae and a snout.
The previous leg record holder was another California centipede named “Illacme plenipes», Always according to the ΑΠΕ ΜΠΕ.
Scientists estimate that large numbers of legs have evolved into these two species to allow them to give birth great thrust forces and so move through the narrow openings that exist in the soil where they live.
