_Kiwa hirsuta_ (the "Yeti crab")

[Ken Kinman]

Dear All,
      When I heard about this hairy crab (_Kiwa hirsuta_), I had trouble trying to visualize what it might look like.  Now that I've seen a photograph, I certainly understand why they compared it to a Yeti.  See link below if you haven't seen it.  Very cool!
   ---Cheers,
