It makes sense why this Yeti Crab got it's name! When I said ''YETI ON THE BEACH!'' it REALLY went against it's natural habitat. It was found 1,500km south of easter island at 2,200m deep in the ocean. It isn't exactly a crab, but a species of squat lobster. These animals are also color blind and able to use it's ''hair'' to purify the poison from hydrothermal vents using Filamentous Bacteria (I wish I could do that!).

Looks like a crab in wookie clothing. Neat coloration - similar to the dumbo. What causes these critters to be yellow?
