Cryptobranchus 🔍

Cryptobranchus is a type of animal that lives in or on rocks, typically containing a single organ system, such as a brain, heart, and lungs, without any other organs. This unique structure is often found in marine organisms like bryozoans and crustaceans. Cryptobranchs are important for their role in the food web by providing essential nutrients to larger organisms, including fish and crustaceans.
