In today's episode...

Welcome to another Goss episode here on the Aussie English podcast!

In today’s episode, we talk about a mega millipede found in Australia.

A millipede is a crawling insect which is named so because it has so many legs. Despite being called ‘millipedes’, most species only have 750 legs or so.

Until recently, Australian scientists found a Eumillipes persephone to have a whooping 1,300 legs!

What if insects can wear shoes?

Join us today as we talk about this super millipede and the weird evolution of cave and deep sea creatures.
