Answer:

-It is covered with setae.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The yeti crab is given the name Yeti as it has hairs on its legs and thus resembles those of the yeti that lives in the snow-capped Himalayas.
  • The crab has been know to be discovered during the southeastern pacific expedition of the microplates. Satae is a type of hair that grows on the body of animals or organisms. The crab is noticeably 15 cm long and the fur covers the legs and claws.
