The new found Hairy Crab in Ocean

Hairy crab is new ocean find

Help
UK scientists have found an array of new species living around volcanic vents on the Southern Ocean floor south-east of South Georgia.
The haul includes a new type of yeti crab that researchers dubbed "The Hoff" crab when they first saw it, in honour of the famous American actor David Hasselhoff. The crab has long hairs - setae - on its ventral surface, or abdomen.
This video of the vents on the East Scotia Ridge was captured by the British deep-diving robot submersible, Isis.
