Hairy crab

The opening of a new representative of the family of blind white crabs were held in Costa Rica. "Fur" upon closer examination and careful study were not wool, and densely growing long setae.However, unusual appearance is not all: it turned out that the unusual crabs for their furry claws grow a kitchen garden, along the way, successfully purifying surrounding space.





Crabs-Yeti by chance choose to stay places to a depth where no sunlight penetrates and where there are nearby sources that produce toxic gases. Using bristles claw as filters, they get food. But about all under the order.The researchers were able to find that "fur mittens" the white underwater Yeti accumulates an unprecedented amount of bacteria up to a dozen different types.





These shaggy deep-sea crabs have an unusual structure that distinguishes them from peers with a more familiar anatomy. If the standard crabs are endowed with five pairs of walking legs, crabs-Yeti fifth pair turned into a kind of appendages near the mouth – a sort of "hands-hooks", which they extract with a claw accumulated production and send it in your mouth.
