Publisher's Synopsis
Giant African millipedes are a huge arthropod, characterized by a divided body, an exoskeleton, and many, numerous legs! They are generally dull earthy colored and dark in shading, have an adjusted body, and reach from 4 to 12 crawls long. The name millipede signifies "thousand-feet," the giant African millipede just has around 300 to 400 legs. The biggest of the 10,000 types of millipede, these delicate giants call the rainforests of Africa home. Millipede signifies "thousand-feet," while centipede signifies "hundred-feet." Instead of having four legs for each body fragment, centipedes have two legs for every body section.
