LONDON, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- British zoologists say they've identified the first crustacean known to be venomous, a centipede-like creature that lives in underwater caves.
The blind "remipede," living in marine caves of the Caribbean, Canary Islands and Western Australia, liquefies its prey -- generally other crustaceans -- with a compound similar to rattlesnake venom, scientists at London's Natural History Museum reported.
