Why is this marine animal called a Yeti Crab? To understand what a Yeti Crab is and why it’s named that, let us first understand what “Yeti” means. The word Yeti refers to a mythical (or made-up) creature that looks like an ape. According to legends, this creature is huge – very much taller than a man. It is often compared to humans because of the way it stands – it stands erect just like a normal person. The creature is also being compared to apes because again, it stands in the upright position, and even more so because it’s hairy – VERY hairy. Now let’s talk about the Yeti Crab which is also called by other names, such as Yeti Lobster or Furry Lobster. The Yeti Crab is a Crustacean species – just like crabs and lobsters. But the Yeti Crab or Yeti Lobster is not a crab – and it’s not a lobster. It is simply its own species of Crustacean. The most important part of its name is the Yeti part. By now, you probably already know why it’s called that. You see, a Yeti is VERY hairy – and the Yeti Crab or Yeti Lobster or Furry Lobster is indeed VERY hairy, as well.

The Shoebill is a species of bird. It looks a bit like a stork, that’s why it’s also called a Shoe-billed Stork – but it’s not really a stork. Actually, the internal structure of the Shoebill is closer to that of the Pelicans, but it is not a species of Pelican, either. Its biochemical structure, on the other hand, can be compared to that of Herons. Even still, it’s not a type of Heron. Needless to say, the Shoebill is its own species – but it’s a very special kind of bird – because it has the qualities of many other types of birds. As its name suggests, it is indeed “shoe-billed.” Simply put, it has a bill or a beak that’s shaped like a shoe. This is true whether you look at its beak in the front view or side view. Now you know why it’s called a Shoebill, but there’s more to know about this amazing bird – as you are about to see in this book.
