Eccentric and Unique Organisms - YETI CRAB

This particular aquatic organism was discovered a mere seven years ago in 2005 in the Pacific Ocean. It’s called a yeti crab because the hair resembles a mythical creature that you’re probably familiar with; Yeti. These crabs can be found in the hydrothermal vents of the Pacific Ocean. These vents release a toxic liquid that is fatal to your everyday aquatic organisms (most of them). There is not a lot of research available on the yeti crab but there is a theory that says that these crabs might be blind. It is also said that they feed of the toxic liquid that is protruded by the hydro-thermal vents.
