Venomous remipede
The venomous remipede is a small, blind crustacean that swims through underground water. It lives in flooded caves and cenotes on the Yucatán Peninsula, near the Caribbean Sea. It is special because it is one of the very few crustaceans known to use venom to catch its food.1

Uko wayimenya
- It is blind and has no eyes or pigment, so it is pale.1
- It has a long, slender, segmented body about 2.5 to 3 cm long.1
- It has many legs, which it uses as oars to swim.1
- Its front claws look like hypodermic needles.1
- The number of body segments increases as it gets older. The highest number recorded was 36.1
Imbaraga z'ubumara
Ubumara busohokera mu menyo yayo y'ubumara cyangwa mu yandi menyo iyo iriye.
Ubumara bwayo bukora iki?
Its venom is similar to that of rattlesnakes and contains digestive enzymes and a paralysing toxin. The enzymes break down the body of its prey, and the toxin paralyses the prey. The venom is made in glands in the centre of the body and stored in reservoirs attached to the claws.1

Niba iruma
- Shyira igikomere mu mazi ashyushye, ashyushye uko umuntu abyihanganira atiriwe ashya, kandi ushake ubufasha bwa muganga kugira ngo amahwa avanwemo. Ntukayacukure ubwawe.
Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze
Irinde akaga
- Ntuzigere ukora, ufata cyangwa ushotora inyamaswa yo mu gasozi, nubwo yaba ntoya, kandi nubwo yasa n'isinziriye cyangwa yapfuye.
- Yihe umwanya. Niba uhuye n'imwe, tuza, usubire inyuma buhoro buhoro kandi uyireke yigendere.
- Niba imwe ikurumye: tuza, ntunyeganyege, hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911) cyangwa ujye ku bitaro vuba. Ibuka uko yasaga, ifoto irafasha.
Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda

Ibintu by'ukuri
Venom was believed to be completely absent from the roughly 70,000 known crustacean species until this animal was discovered.1
In 2007, researchers noticed its front claws looked like hypodermic needles. Venom reservoirs were later found attached to them.1
Its feeding technique is unique among crustaceans.1
It is hermaphroditic, meaning each individual has both male and female reproductive organs.1
It is one of 24 species in the class Remipedia. All of them live in caves, and they are found in the Caribbean, the Canary Islands and Western Australia.1
Remipede distribution is linked to the ancient Tethys Sea.1
Usenya ibinyoma
Ikinyoma: Crustaceans cannot have venom.
Ukuri: This remipede injects venom through its front claws, and this was the first crustacean found to do so.1
