A new crustacean (= schaaldier) that resembles a lobster has been discovered:

source: cnn / bbc
The decapod crustacean has very long fur along its pincers and is white in colour. It has been placed in a new family called the Kiwaidae, and it is currently the only known representative.

I think it looks really nice, something you would expect in a SCIFI movie! What I actually don’t understand is how the discovery of a single example is enough to call it a new species…. makes me wonder about stuff like mutation.
A hairy detail in the cnn article:

The animal is white and 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) long — about the size of a salad plate.

Wrong equation in the wrong place IMHO.
