The document describes several unique or cryptic creatures that have been discovered or reported in remote locations around the world. It discusses:
1) The Moroccan Flic-Flac Spider, which moves in an unusual way that robots have been programmed to mimic.
2) The Scaleless Blackfish, a small fanged fish found on underwater volcanoes off Australia that scientists insist is not dangerous, despite possibly having a larger, deadlier relative.
3) The Mongolian Death Worm, reported in Mongolia's Gobi Desert, which is believed to live underground and secrete poison.
4) Steller's Sea Ape, an explorer's discovery of a type of elephant seal

Scientists who discovered this unusual type of spider agree that it has a unique way of moving. Some types of robot have been programmed to mimic the spider’s movements, as it is more efficient than walking. Name: Scaleless Blackfish Location: A volcano off the Australian coast Scientists who discovered this, very unusual, fanged fish insist that it is only found on the slopes of underwater volcanoes. Because of its small size, they refuse to believe that it is dangerous, although they’ve agreed to say that it might have a bigger, more deadly relative even deeper underwater, Name: Mongolian Death Worm Location: Gobi Desert This cryptid has been sighted in the extremely remote deserts of Mongolia. It is believed to live in the sand and to secrete poison. Scientists have criticized the Mongolian government for not letting them examine it more closely, but Mongolia has insisted on keeping the area sealed because of bad relations with neighbouring China. Name: Steller’s Sea Ape Location: Islands near Alaska The Sea Ape (a type of Elephant Seal) was first discovered by an explorer in the late 1800s. While naturalists congratulated the explorer for his discovery, the fact that is has only been rarely seen since casts doubt on its existence. Name: Skunk Ape Location: Florida This type of small, highly secretive ape, is believed to live in very remote swamp country in Florida. Scientists advise people not to approach it, as it gives off a very unpleasant smell as a deterrent and may also become violent. Name: Yeti crab Location: South Pacific Ocean Scientists who found this unique species of crab have admitted naming it the ‘Yeti crab’ because its fur makes it look like a yeti. It is yellow in colour and is found on the slopes of underwater volcanoes. SOLVE THE ANAGRAMS They are all reported verbs
