A "Mane" Lobster... get it?...

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.

The animal's pincers are covered with sinuous, hair-like strands. It seems to reside around some Pacific deep sea hydrothermal vents, which spew out fluids that are toxic to many animals.
Creepy!.. Kinda reminds me of the Morlocks in the 1960 version of The Time Machine.
