Pretty self explanatory. Post animals, post pets, post stuff about animals and pets!

I helped some family friends clean up their little slice of beach today and saw this little friend.

Looks like Carcinus Maenas (European Green Crab). They are invasive here in the united circus. I've never seen one with my eyes, but then I don't care much for beach.
I am more of a forest person than a beach person, but rarely turn down a chance to stock up on seaweed for the compost and gardens. If they're the european ones then I'll feel less bad about the one that found itself near trees unexpectedly =D
All crabs die. Not every crab lives. He was probably going on a quest. I'm sure of it.
