New species of marine spider can breathe underwater using air chamber made of silk

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.
