It's easy to forget the yeti crab because only something like, I don't know, twenty? people have seen a living one, and it was just this one time in 2005. Who remembers 2005?
Plus, it lives way down in some deep, hydrothermal vent in this one specific spot out in the middle of the ocean. Really hard to drop in on it and say hi.
But it's there. We found it. Think about that. The yeti crab reminds us that we might still find something new in the future. There is more to this world than we think.
Yes, even albino lobsters with hairy arms.
Not everything is cataloged. We can go out and find new things. Also, the yeti crab is incontrovertibly real. How refreshing!
Thank you, Kiwa Hirsuta, for being there for us.
I'm not alone in my appreciation. Some artists on deviantart are showing their own yeti crab love:
