...classy crustaceans..?
Furry 'lobster' found in Pacific [ news.bbc.co.uk ] "Marine biologists have discovered a crustacean in the South Pacific that resembles a lobster or crab covered in what looks like silky fur. ... The "Yeti Crab", as it has been dubbed, is white and 15cm (5.9in) long, according to Michel Segonzac of the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (Ifremer). In what he has described as a "surprising characteristic", the animal's pincers are covered with sinuous, hair-like strands. It seems to reside around some Pacific deep sea hydrothermal vents, which spew out fluids that are toxic to many animals." ... The Chinese mitten crab [ en.wikipedia.org ] ... crab invaders!! Exotic crabs in waterway invasion [ news.bbc.co.uk ] "An exotic Chinese crab that preys on British native species is on the verge of taking over the country's major waterways, environmental experts warn." ... and the raver edition, (of course), found at the bottom of oceanic pools of raver goo at le centre factal.. [ www.urbandictionary.com ] "1. crab dance : the "crab dance" (from the French danse de crabe) - a technique that can only be mastered during periods of extreme inebriety. involves arms and legs simultaneously moving in random raving-style, crab-like motions." | |

... fuzzy lobster's life- partner:
Blobfish [ en.wikipedia.org ] Blobfish Scientific classification: Kingdom: Animalia Family: Psychrolutidae Species: marcin **** The blobfish (Psychrolutes marcidus [1]) is a fish that inhabits the deep waters off the coasts of Australia and Tasmania.[2] Due to the inaccessibility of its habitat, it is rarely seen by humans. Blobfish are found at depths where the pressure is several dozens of times higher than at sea level, which would likely make gas bladders inefficient. To remain buoyant, the flesh of the blobfish is primarily a gelatinous mass with a density slightly less than water; this allows the fish to float above the sea floor without expending energy on swimming. The relative lack of muscle is not a disadvantage as it primarily swallows edible matter that floats by in front it. (i don't know if i believe that these are so rare. for sure i have seen some of these around, perhaps at le centre fractal? ... and definitely at the end of an NTK party!! but perhaps these NTK are a special and rare breed. i do love them so. and because they certainly aren't found at any "depths where the pressure is several dozens of times higher" then them , oh no, quite on the contrary, actuall....) ***and i wonder if the species was named after marcin, or vice versa? | |

That blob fish looks fucking cool! I'd love to have some as pets, but, yeah, 12x sea-level pressure is gonna be tough to maintain in an aquarium. | |

" [ www.deepseaphotography.com ] "
This is probably the best show about deep sea creatures. The series, Blue Planet, is the best for ocean creatures. [ www.bbc.co.uk ] |
