0:11Now PlayingThis juvenile Neolithodes agassizii, also known as a king crab, surprised NOAA scientists during a mission in the Gulf of Mexico. Researchers were clearing marine debris as part of an effort to restore deep corals. This spikey little fella likely hitched a ride on garbage bag that was collected from the seafloor at a depth of 1,060 meters (3,477 feet). Despite looking like a crab and being a called a crab, this juvenile is not a true crab. King crabs are more closely related to hermit crabs and have six walking legs with two claws instead of eight walking legs and two claws.
