Yeti Crab (Kiwa hirsuta)

The Yeti Crab, discovered in 2005 near hydrothermal vents in the Pacific, is a bizarre deep-sea crustacean. Its most striking feature is the dense, hair-like filaments covering its claws and body, which host symbiotic bacteria. These "hairs" are thought to either detoxify poisonous minerals from the vents or serve as a cultivated food source, making it both strange and fascinating.
