Yeti Crab: This new family of crab was discovered off the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge in the South Pacific Ocean
Yeti Crab: This new family of crab was discovered off the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge in the South Pacific Ocean (37°46.50'S, 110°54.70'W). It was named Kiwa hirsuta kiwa, after the goddess of shellfish in Polynesian mythology, but has become known as the "yeti crab" because of its hairy appearance. The crab was collected by slurp gun from the Alvin submersible at 2228 M water depth. Reference: Macpherson E., Jones J. & M. Segonzac, 2005.
