Development of a centipede (Madagascar) in 7 steps
PU964-1
Initially it looks like a seed: a perfect leather coloured ball. But little by little it opens, until we see its numerous pairs of legs: 44 legs! A giant for his family, since it is a Sphaerotheriida. A species that protects itself by rolling in perfect ball. Meerkats, carnivorous mammals from southern Africa, were seen throwing these balls against a rock to force them to open and be able to eat them... Here the opening in 7 steps makes it possible to understand this movement, as in slowi motion.
