Deep Look | Release The Brood! Roly Poly Birthing Is Intense

Roly polies aren’t insects, they’re crustaceans, and they have more in common with kangaroos than you might think.

These land-dwelling isopods carry their eggs in a fluid-filled pouch on their underside, giving their young a tiny ocean to develop in until they’re ready to face the world.


In this episode of Deep Look, we take a close look at how roly poly moms protect their eggs, nurture their babies, and pull off one of nature’s most surprising examples of convergent evolution.
