Hairy-chested 'David Hasselhoff crabs' spend largely separate lives from the female

Males of a species of crab nicknamed after David Hasselhoff because of their hairy chests spend largely separate lives from the females, according to new research.

In a study looking at the private life of the deep-sea crab known as the "Hoff" have found that the males and females spend separate lives at volcanic vents 1.5 miles deep near Antarctica, because of the conflicting demands of feeding and raising young among the sexes.
