Tanjung Piai trip 丹戎比艾游 (B)

Male fiddler crab has an enlarged claw which makes it quite easy to differentiate it from other tiny crabs. This colorful claw plays an important role in finding girl friend.
It is said that male crab will protect a female before her molting and this time we noticed a male feddler crab push a female into a burrow.
螃蟹拥有极其坚硬的外壳,这一点在吃螃蟹的时候最有体会。不过螃蟹会蜕去旧的外壳,然后长更大,同时也可以修复损坏的腿脚。最重要的是,这是螃蟹传宗接代的关键时刻。雄性螃蟹此刻会守护着配偶。
这次我们看到招潮蟹夫妇在洞穴周围觅食。





Maybe they just keep playing this kind of hide and find... ...
或者雄性招潮蟹通过这种活动间接保护了配偶
