Some enterprising, web-savvy hand-sewing type (yes, apparently they exist, although they are rarer than kiwa hirsuta) has created a pattern to sew your own cuddly stuffed Kiwa Hirsuta. Apparently, the whole world is focused on the appetizer course-enhancing qualities of the incredibly rare and scientifically fascinating creature; first it was described as “the size of a salad plate,” and now, this new creation has stripped the gloves off (although presumably donned the bib) and actually called itself “Tasty.”
Inspired by the recently reported kiwa hirsuta lobster, I designed a plush toy. Although she’s not anatomically correct in every detail, I think she is an identifiable member of this new species.
For anyone interested in sewing one of their own, I’ve developed a pattern with instructions and released it under a Creative Commons license. I don’t recommend this project for people averse to hand-sewing or turning things inside out—there’s plenty of both involved. But it’s all simple sewing and assembly if you understand the basics of seaming and stuffing.
And, presumably, roasting and grilling.
i think that a fuury albino lobster is so fake. how can a lobetr be furry, plus albine lobsters or blue and not white like other animlas.
Negitory, good buddy. The Kiwa Hirsuta is an actual albino lobster, meaning WITHOUT PIGMENT. There are blue lobsters, and yellow lobsters, and even half-blue-half-yellow lobsters, but the kiwa hirsuta lives at the bottom of the ocean in trenches so deep that no light penetrates and therefore doesn’t need pigmentation for camouflage.
This IS a fake; it’s a pattern to sew your own stuffed one, as you’ll see if you read the post. If you plug “Kiwa Hirsuta” into the search box, you’ll find pictures of the actual lobster, and it is quite, quite real.
