A strange creature with large claws has been pulled from the depths of the ocean in Antarctica

Instead of a mouth, it has a proboscis, and it breathes through its legs.

A yellow spider-like creature with four black eyes and large claws has been discovered in the sea depths off Antarctica. A study about this mysterious arthropod, which scientists have caught for the first time, was published by the journal ZooKeys.

Found it in the Ross Sea at a depth of about 570 metres. Apparently, it is one of the species of sea spiders. The new species was named Austropallene halanychi.
