Perth: The tortoise has the longest legs in the world. They usually have up to 750 feet. So far, researchers have identified 13,000 species of tortoises. But researchers in Australia have now discovered an abnormality in the number of legs. They have 1306 legs. The researchers said that this was the largest legume ever found in the world.
Discovery from a mine in Western Australia. Researchers call this ‘umilipes persiphen’. The female beetle is about 10 cm long and less than 1 mm wide. They are blind and survive by recognizing their surroundings with an antenna-like component. The researchers said that females of this species had more legs than males.
Survivors have now been found to be able to survive any adverse conditions in the soil. Researchers at the University of Western Australia are behind the discovery.
