具足蟲絕食5年死亡 吃過一條魚后對美食無愛！
2月14日星期五，日本鳥羽水族館在嘗試喂養(yǎng)后，宣布這只外形好似超大號球潮蟲的大王具足蟲死亡。
The giant male isopod, called No. 1 to distinguish it from the nine other giant isopods kept at the Japanese aquarium, has not eaten since January 2009, when it ate a whole horse mackerel.
為了區(qū)分水族館的另外9只巨型等足目動物，這只雄性大王具足蟲被命名為“1號”。2009年1月它吃了一條鲹魚，自那以后，這只大王具足蟲一直拒絕進食。
No. 1's keeper Takeya Moritaki has been dumbfounded by the crustacean's hunger strike, claiming the deep-sea creature would at times pretend to eat by moving its mouth and front legs around the food to appease aquarium staff, however it never actually swallowed.
“1號”的絕食行為讓飼養(yǎng)員則武竹谷十分不解，他說“1號” 有時候會動動嘴巴和前腿假裝在吃東西，糊弄水族館的飼養(yǎng)員，但實際上它從來沒有將食物吞下。
Mr Moritaki, was preparing the mackerel for No. 1's feed, however the giant isopod sat motionless as the bait was lowered in to the tank, according to Rocket News.
新聞網站Rocket News報道稱，在“1號” 死亡之前，則武竹谷正在為它準備鯖魚肉，然而當鯖魚肉被放入水族箱后，“1號”卻一動不動。
Realising something was wrong, the aquarium staff lifted No. 1 out of the tank and declared it dead. At that point, the creature had starved itself for five years and 43 days.
意識到情況不妙之后，工作人員將“1號”撈出水族箱。隨后工作人員宣布了它的死亡。至此 “1號”已經絕食了5年零43天。
It has been widely reported as the longest time any animal under observation has gone without food.
“1號”的絕食身亡被大量媒體報道，因為這是迄今為止有人類觀察的動物創(chuàng)造的時間最長絕食記錄。
The death of the giant isopod, has been confirmed by the aquarium and a dissection was performed, however no cause of death was found.
在宣布“1號”死亡之后，鳥羽水族館對這只巨型等足目動物進行了尸檢，但未能查明死亡原因。
