Tug Valley Crayfish

Cambarus hatfieldi

Classification

Cambarus hatfieldi (common name Tug Valley crayfish) is a species of crayfish. Name Biologists from the University of West Virginia named this species inspired by the Hatfield-McCoy feud. One of the scientists, Zachary Loughman, said this: Since this is the same region of the famous Hatfield and McCoy rivalry, we thought it was only fitting to name the animal Cambarus hatfieldi, especially since the majority of its range occurs in West Virginia.
