This newly discovered lobster makes a sound like a cricket and has a soft shell that feels like felt: (link)A bizarre crustacean, tagged the 'musical furry lobster', has been found in Australian waters for the first time.
It's so unusual, with a furry shell and the ability to chirp, that scientists have placed it in its own genus.
But the lobster was almost lost to science.
Rumour has it the French researchers who discovered the world's first specimen in the 1980s didn't realise its significance. So, they ate it for dinner.
Damn French (I wonder if they're good with "freedom fries").
