This is actually really sad because what it means is that where this crab is living there is more litter on the beach than clean, available shells for him to move to when he grows. Crabs using garbage as shells also can’t defend themselves from predators as easily because they can’t pull their bodies fully into the “shell”. He’s a cute little trooper.

Wow anymalcraft, is still still live or dead

dream too much ….

This is so cute! I wonder how long he stayed in it, they like to curl around a shell, so I can’t imagine he stayed long!

This is the ultimate in recycling

this is sad. but atleast it’s not plastic. lets just hope the paint from the bottlecap doesn’t cause chemical poisoning

OOOOHHH no lo había visto!! que tierno!!! lo adoro…
