Another museum model I’d love to own, this is what’s inside a barnacle, my favorite crustaceans! Look at that little cutie, like an alien space baby! Isn’t it just delightful how its whole body forms a little house with a smaller body inside? Its digestive tract is like the plumbing!
I wrote extensively on barnacle biology here!Bringing this back because some of you have no idea I bet. No idea that this animal lives in a volcano made from just the top of its head.
