Kiwa hirsuta Kiwa hirsuta
There have been a lot of new discoveries in the animal world recently. One of the more fascinating is the Kiwi hirsuta, a South Pacific critter that resembles a lobster and is covered with what looks like silky, blond fur. Researchers found the nearly six-inch long crustacean in 7,540 feet deep water at a site 900 miles south of Easter Island. This animal is so different that they have created a new family and genus for it.
