New Species of Yeti Crab Discovered


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

Marine biologists from British Antarctic Survey and the University of Southampton, UK, have described the first species of yeti crab known from the Southern Ocean, Antarctica.

The new species, scientifically named Kiwa tyleri, belongs to Kiwaidae - an enigmatic group of squat lobsters that live in the hot waters surrounding the geothermally heated hydrothermal vents.

I don't know, they don't look very tasty like red crab or standard table crab. Also very limited in number. Thanks for the article.
