Yeti Crab

This sort of looks like a nightmare version of a stuffed animal mixed with a lobster, which seems fake, but it’s real. Officially known as the kiwa hirsuta, or the yeti crab, this is a hairy crab with no eyes.

It was discovered in 2005 near Easter Island as a totally new species, and got is name after Kiwa, the mythological Polynesian goddess of shellfish.
