A crab by any other name



Don't forget that when the new species was discovered, nicknames were discussed and I suggested "monkey crab" while others suggested "furry lobster". The winner, hands-down, as it turned out, was "yeti crab" - as that is what the scientists who found it dubbed it. Yeti is more powerful than a loco-motive! Neologistically, I mean.
