The one foot long Giant Isopods live up to 6,000ft down on the seabed where there is no light. In the pitch black and cold they survive by feasting on dead and decaying fish and other marine animals. Isopods have been unchanged for 160 million years and the creatures are sure to be popular attractions when they go on display.

Each was individually wrapped in wet hessian and newspaper before...
