1-Kiwa hirsuta:

The Kiwa hirsuta, also known as the “yeti crab,” is a fascinating creature with a unique way of staying healthy. Covered in soft, silky setae that resemble hair, this crustacean was only discovered in 2005 off the shore of Easter Island. What’s interesting is that the Kiwa hirsuta lives near hydrothermal vents, which can emit poisonous materials. But this creature has a clever way of surviving next to them. It uses its “hairy” setae to detoxify these materials, which keeps it healthy and thriving in its harsh environment. It’s incredible to think that this creature has developed such an ingenious adaptation to survive and stay healthy.
