EDITORS COMMENTS
Crabby Invasion: European Green Crab Takes a Dip in North America's Kejimkujik Seaside National Park!". In this underwater snapshot captured by photographer Nick Hawkins, we witness the mischievous antics of an invasive species causing quite a splash! Meet the European green crab (Carcinus maenas), a crustacean troublemaker that has made its way to North America. This cheeky decapod is no ordinary swimmer crab - it's an unwelcome guest from across the pond. With its vibrant colors and determined demeanor, this little critter seems right at home in Nova Scotia's picturesque waters. But don't be fooled by its charming appearance; beneath those pincers lies an aggressive streak! As it gracefully glides through the Atlantic Ocean, one can't help but marvel at its adaptability and survival skills. This portrait captures not only the beauty of this marine creature but also highlights important animal behavior research on these invaders. While their presence may cause concern for native species, there's no denying that these exotics have brought some excitement to our shores. So next time you visit Kejimkujik Seaside National Park, keep your eyes peeled for these feisty crabs making waves – just make sure they don't pinch your toes!
