An intriguing species of marine spider which is entirely new to science has been identified in Queensland, Australia, according to a study published in the journal Evolutionary Systematics.

The animal was first spotted by researchers in January 2009 when sea waters in the north-eastern Australian state receded to such an extent that a hidden population living on a patch of brain coral became exposed.

It's impressive. They must be highly evolved to be able to do that.
