Scientists recently discovered a bizarre, new crustacean 900 miles south of Easter Island. From the AP article (italics mine):
"Scientists said the animal, which they named Kiwa hirsuta, was so distinct from other species that they created a new family and genus for it. The animal is white and just shy of 6 inches long, about the size of a salad plate."
Great. We discover a hitherto unknown sea creature fantastical enough to merit its own classification, and our first thought is, "Will it fit on my dinner plate?"
