Isopods considered part of the Cubaris genus are often in fairly high demand within the pet isopod hobby. Many of the Cubaris species within the hobby are either undescribed or unidentified, and are referred to as " Cubaris sp.", though some have ended up being moved to other genera.
Bathynomus vaderi can be up to 12.8 inches (0.325 m) in length and 2.2 pounds (0.997 kg) in weight, [4] and is one of the largest known species of isopods. [5] The species is predicted to have a similar habitat to the other giant isopod species Bathynomus jamesi .
Isopoda is an order of crustaceans.Members of this group are called isopods and include both aquatic species and terrestrial species such as woodlice.All have rigid, segmented exoskeletons, two pairs of antennae, seven pairs of jointed limbs on the thorax, and five pairs of branching appendages on the abdomen that are used in respiration.
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), also known as the panda bear or simply panda, is a bear species endemic to China. It is characterised by its white coat with black patches around the eyes, ears, legs and shoulders. Its body is rotund; adult individuals weigh 100 to 115 kg (220 to 254 lb) and are typically 1.2 to 1.9 m (3 ft 11 in to 6 ...
Parailurus anglicus was twice the size of a red panda, [1] and probably lived in a similar environment to that of the red panda. [2] The English panda had a much rather distinct dentition when compared to other ailurids. It has a pretty unusual upper fourth premolar, with greater antoposterior length than transverse width.

Cubaris caerulea is a species of woodlouse within the family Armadillidae, often referred to as the "yellow panda" in the pet trade. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The species is native to Thailand and grows to a length of 14 millimeters.
It is a member of the giant isopods (Bathynomus), and as such it is related—albeit distantly—to shrimps and crabs. [2] It was the first Bathynomus species ever documented and was described in 1879 by French zoologist Alphonse Milne Edwards after the isopod was found in fishermen's nets off the coast of the Dry Tortugas in the Gulf of Mexico .
Phreatoicidea is a suborder of isopod crustaceans.Extant species are confined to freshwater environments in South Africa, India, and Oceania. [2] This seemingly Gondwana-derived distribution belies the fact that the group once had a cosmopolitan distribution; fossils which can be assigned to the Phreatoicidea are the oldest isopod fossils, and are found throughout the world.
