Small Crab spotted on the beach of LEU. Beware of his mighty claw.
Some species of crabs are known for their remarkable ability to walk and even run sideways. This distinctive sideways motion is due to the structure of their legs, which allows them to move efficiently in a sideways direction. The way their legs are jointed and the orientation of their hip joints make this unique movement possible. This sideways scuttling is not only charming to watch but also serves a functional purpose, helping crabs move quickly and navigate their often complex environments with ease.
