Hydrothermal vents & the Yeti crab.

These are hydrothermal vents found deep down at the bottom of the ocean. Some are white smokers, others are black. These vents are home to an amazing variety of life forms that live on chemicals and chemosynthesis, since no sunlight can reach them.
This is the Yetti crab, named so after the legendary shaggy snowman of the Himalayas, but who contrary to his friend, lives in depths of 7200 ft ( 2200 mt ) on aareas covered with fresh lava from the vents.

The world really is absolutely astounding. You tend to forget...! Those yeti crabs are pretty cute, I have to add! It's fascinating that there's this whole other world that we know so little about.

You thought the Yeti was just a legend? You see the arms right there. Yeti arms.

[babykaulitz16]

did they kill the only specimen known? or were there more crabs down there?

Looks like the aftermath of a dust mite and a polar bear hooking up in a bar.
