This thing looks like the results of a mad genetic engineering experiment that got loose in the wild, like something out of a bad B horror movie that would grow to the size of a cow and eat people. Its nothing like that thankfully, just a really strange looking beastie. Its real, and swimming blissfully around in the South Pacific. There are still wonders left to find in the world :
Marine biologists have discovered a crustacean in the South Pacific that resembles a lobster or crab covered in what looks like silky fur.
Kiwa hirsuta is so distinct from other species that scientists have created a new taxonomic family for it.
A US-led team found the animal last year in waters 2,300m (7,540ft) deep at a site 1,500km (900 miles) south of Easter Island, an expert has claimed.
The ‘Furry Lobster’ is pictured below.
