8. Yeti Crab (Kiwa Hirsuta)
The Yeti Crab looks similar to crabs or lobsters but their genetic code does not fall within the boundaries of said group thus its a different family of crustaceans altogether named after the Polynesian God, Kiwa. They live in the hydro-thermal vents at the bottom of the ocean but the female would go to cooler areas to lay eggs and would starve to death keeping its eggs safe. Also, the Kiwa Hirsuta has blond “hairy” legs and claws with no eyes. The hair on its body is scientifically called as setae and it serves as a mobile garden for growing bacteria which they love to eat. Something like how food gets trapped in people’s beard hmm maybe not.
7. Vampire Squid (Vampyroteuthis Infernalis)
Its scientific name literally means “Vampire Squid of Hell”. They are found throughout the tropical and temperate oceans of the world. The squid can only grow to at most 28 cm in length and no they don’t suck blood. The only reason they are called the “Vampire Squid of Hell” is because of its red eyes and its mantle or cloak like webbing connecting its tentacles reminded the one who named them of vampires.
