Some good international news: the "cutest" crab found in the Gulf of Mexico.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released a video of a tiny spiny crab. It was found during an expedition in the Gulf of Mexico, when scientists collected samples of deep-sea coral.
"It's the cutest, spikiest, smallest crab in the world! (Don't take it literally - we're exaggerating a bit),” NOAA Fisheries captioned the video.
This species lives mainly off the coast of Central and South America. Crabs live at depths of 200 to 1,900 meters, and their shells are covered with spines that help protect them from predators.
