  1. crabs are the epitome of Evolution´s sense of humor.

  2. very funny… and true.

    with the sideways walking and Popeye muscles, and who knew – rock climbing prowess….

    All that, and they taste good when boiled. 😉

  3. That guy has a great fractal pattern in his claw coloration, I’m glad your brought those details out.

  4. Popeye muscles!!! 😀 …Totally!

    I have read not long ago in a magazine about a big crab who eats coconuts if he faces the inconvenience of not finding food elsewhere. The most funny thing of all -well, it´s all funy about this actually!- is that he climbs the coconut tree and drops the fruit… which is already a difficult task and takes him like a couple of days to open it.

    The locals -it´s somewhere in the pacific if I remember rightly- say that the guy is very unfriendly… well, imagine! If you have to do all that work and you are already starving from the past days… I would be crabbing too…

    LOL! 😀
