Yeti Crab (Kiwaia)
Habitat: These crustaceans thrive in the extreme depths of the ocean, clustered around deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
Bacterial Farming: Their hairy claws serve as a farm for cultivating bacteria. The crab uses specialized mouthparts to harvest and feed on this microscopic crop.
Extreme Adaptation: They are uniquely adapted to live in pitch-black conditions, extreme pressure, and superheated mineral-rich water coming from vent chimneys.
