The yeti crab, scientifically known as *Kiwa hirsuta*, is a unique species of crab discovered in 2005 near hydrothermal vents in the South Pacific Ocean. It is notable for its hairy pincers, which are covered in bristle-like structures that may help it cultivate bacteria for food. This adaptation allows the yeti crab to thrive in extreme environments where traditional food sources are scarce. Yeti crabs typically inhabit deep-sea regions, often at depths of around 2,200 meters. They are part of the family Kiwaidae and are known for their pale coloration, which helps them blend into their surroundings. The discovery of the yeti crab has provided valuable insights into the biodiversity of deep-sea ecosystems and the adaptations of life in extreme conditions.
