| Research Abstract |
The floor of an aquarium was covered by golf balls entirely and a subject animal, Bathynomus doederleini, was put in it. The diameter of the ball was about one third of the length of a subject. Ten individuals were tested and two of them made a burrow-like structure in the balls. One made a trait of which the length was about 10 times longer than that of the animal. Another dug into the balls and moved a distance which was about 8 times longer than the length of the animal. It can be assumed that these animals created novel methods to move into the unknown materials that they have never met in the nature.
