New Lobster found

[dallasdiver]

Finally, we descend into the dark realms of the South Pacific, where we find a creature so unusual that it demands an entirely new family of animal just to classify it. Now nicknamed "the Yeti crab," this beast is entirely white, blind, and coated in bristles. "Fine, hairlike filaments" cover its powerful front arms and tiny back legs. Pictures of the crustacean crawled out of obscurity into our most-popular news photos, and the story pushed "furry lobster," "hairy lobster," "yeti crab," "kiwa hirsuta" (its official name), and "new lobster" to the surface of Buzz. If the white crab met the Red Lobster, would they make pretty pink babies? Now that takes us beyond the realm of the believable.
