Feeling crabby? This brilliantly coloured crab puppet can cheer you up in a pinch! With his bright orange body and soft patterned shell, he’ll sidle blithely into your heart. Slip your hand inside his underside to wiggle legs and pincers.
Hermit crabs (superfamily Paguroidea) live along tropical coastlines and, in some species, in damp forests further inland. As omnivorous scavengers, they comb sand and seabed for algae, small scraps of carrion and other organic debris. Their soft, spiral-shaped abdomen fits neatly into the curve of a snail shell, keeping it shielded from predators. The two unevenly sized claws are used both for feeding and, in some species, for sealing the shell's opening when threatened. In the wild, certain hermit crab species gather in large groups of several hundred individuals.
Did you know that hermit crabs are known for their unusual behaviour of using empty snail shells as mobile homes to protect their soft abdomens? These fascinating creatures are constantly on the lookout for larger and better shells as they grow, making them perpetual "house hunters."
