It's amazing what natural selection via sexual selection can come up with. A case in point is the Lyrebird from Australia. Watch and see for yourselves :)

What's that you say... furry lobsters?

A team of American-led divers have discovered a new crustacean in the South Pacific that resembles a lobster and is covered with what looks like silky, blond fur, French researchers said Tuesday.

Evolution is a strange drama, I wonder what part this little creature plays in it. Any ideas what that "hair" could be for? I'm guessing its not just to remind me that I hate spiders.

First saw this story on Newsvine.
