Trilobita
Trilobites are ancient sea creatures that lived long before dinosaurs. They had hard shells and many legs, like tiny armored bugs of the past.
Lebensraum: Marine
The Trilobite has a distinctive three-lobed body, segmented lengthwise and across, covered by a hard exoskeleton. Its body is typically oval or elongated with a prominent head, a multi-segmented middle section, and a tail plate. While fossilized, some likely displayed dark, earthy tones or mottled patterns.

Trilobite has a tough, segmented exoskeleton that helps them protect their soft body from predators and injuries.
Trilobite can see in many directions using large compound eyes because this helps them spot ancient predators and find food.
Trilobite can roll up into a tight ball because this ability helps them shield their vulnerable underside from danger.
