Caught in the Act - The Sneaky Smooth-Handed Ghost Crab!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the smooth-handed ghost crab, known for its unique horizontal eyes and lack of ridges inside its large claw. Its color effortlessly blends with the white sandy beach it calls home on Home Island in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. But don't be fooled by its innocent appearance! This carnivorous crustacean has a dark side - it's cannibalistic! With such a reputation, you can almost imagine this crafty crab plotting its next meal while flicking its eyes from vertical to horizontal and back again. Widespread throughout the Indo-Pacific region, this smooth-handed ghost crab is truly a master of disguise. Its ability to camouflage itself against various backgrounds ensures survival in different environments. And here on this pristine island paradise, it appears very pale indeed. With keen observation skills and an eye-catching presence, this single smooth-handed ghost crab stands out amidst the marine wonders of the Indian Ocean. So let's appreciate nature's incredible diversity as we admire Don Hadden's remarkable wildlife photography capturing these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat.
