Its silky blond hair looks pretty seductive – until you see the very large claws sticking out at the end. The good news is that the weird beast couldn’t catch you if it wanted to – it is blind.
The new lobster is in fact so strange that it has been given its own family and genus - Kiwa hirsuta. The 15-cm-long (6 inch) beast was found 2300 metres (7540 feet) under the South Pacific, 900 miles south of Easter Island. Many new species are plucked from the ocean each year, but scientists say it is unusual to find one in need of a new family name, or indeed a haircut.

I bet they are not very smart.
Woops should have said "new species of lobster found"
Nah who cares.
I had a girlfriend once who was a blonde crab. Really pretty, but that attitude made her acquaintance a short one.
You can bet every lobster in the Atlantic cares. How would you like being called a crab?
Hoochie mama!!
Hey, I think I know who you mean!
due to its remarkable similarity between it and its namesake, not only in appearance, but intelligence as well.
The two are believed to have the same IQ.
Certainly nothing to "clap" about.
I think they are going to call it the "HILLARY".
At six inches long, it's not a lobster, it's a crawfish.
Yeah, Baby!.............
Does the hair match the curtains?
Wait, that's not how it goes. DUH!

Yeah, but is it natural blond??? |

Do the curtains match the rug? |
Yeah, that's it! thanks.
You can pet it too.
It's all furry and cuddly.. it makes an even better pet than the mansize scorption i posted about. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1592637/posts
Im still searching for the perfect pet though.
They should have called it the "Paris Hilton crab."
