Furry 'lobster' found in Pacific



Marine biologists have discovered a crustacean in the South Pacific that resembles a lobster or crab covered in what looks like silky fur.

This was an amazing discovery, however it is sad to think that other species like the furry lobster may never be discovered because there home are being destroyed by high-sea trawling. This is a good opportunity to remind ourselves, that high-sea trawlers bulldoze the ocean floor and seamounts are irreversibly exterminating deep-sea species whose existence we do not even know.
