7. The Yeti Crab

Via popsci.com

Most of us have watched winter-themed movies featuring hairy, fur-covered creatures known as Yeti. In the ocean, however, the closest we come to these creatures is the oddly furry yeti crab.

This unique crustacean was only discovered in 2005. Their pincers are covered in fur-like strands that have a prominent blond color. This fur covers most of the pincers and is full of bacteria. Some marine scientists are of the idea that the bacteria provide a source of food for the crab.
