Furry Crab Provides Cute Overload

This newly discovered creature, nicknamed the Yeti crab, was weird enough to get its own genus and species -- Kiwa hirsute, Kiwa for the Polynesian goddess of shellfish, and hirsute, for, duh, its pretty blond hairs. The blind, 10-legged crustacean, found at a depth of 7,500 feet in the South Pacific, is about 6 inches long. Please find us one for Christmas.
