Hermit Crabs Use Platsic Bottle Tops For Shells
These desperate hermit crabs were seen using plastic bottle tops for shells after rivals took all the available homes. The creatures were spotted moving along the sand on the Ngai Island in Krabi province, southern Thailand last Saturday (21/09) afternoon. Locals were shocked to see them using the plastic pollution as their homes. The creatures normally clamber inside sea shells lying on the beach, but can mistake human trash for the natural items or resort to man-made alternatives when all the available shells have been snapped up by rival crabs. Footage shows how dozens of other crabs on the beach at the same time had managed to find suitable sea shells - leaving only human trash behind. The ecologist, who wished to remain anonymous, was disappointed to see the natural world evolving in a negative way.
