Giant Laotian harvestman : ウィキペディア英語版 | Giant Laotian harvestman
The giant Laotian harvestman is the unofficial name for an as-yet undescribed species of opiliones belonging to the family Sclerosomatidae. The species was discovered in April 2012 near a cave in the southern province of Khammouan, by Dr. Peter Jäger of the ''Senckenberg Research Institute'' in Frankfurt, Germany, whilst shooting a television documentary about the wildlife of Laos. == Physical description ==
The giant Laotian harvestman dwells inside the caves of Laos, and has a leg span stretching just over 330 millimeters (13 inches), thus making it the second largest harvestman discovered so far - surpassed only by another species in South America. It is currently unknown why it has such a large leg span, but it is believed that, since opiliones breathe through their legs, a larger leg span makes respiration easier in the caves' low oxygen environment.
