A Furry Lobster?

What will they think of next? The AP reports that a combined team of American and French divers in the South Pacific have discovered a new crustacean that is so bizarre and different that they had to designate a new family and a new genus for it.

The beastie is about 6 inchs long and looks like a lobster with furry claws! Discovered at 7,500 feet below the surface (damn that’s over a mile down!) the creature is blind with simply a membrane instead of eyes. The creature was named Kiwa Hirsuta and the new family Kiwaida in honor of Kiwa, the Polynesian goddess of crustaceans.

Now why the heck do you suppose the fur like stuff evolved? Maybe to help keep it warm at a mile and a half below the ocean? How come everyone seems to have a more fun job than I do?
