I just saw a link to this on LE, and thought it was really cool. Have posted it here too for anyone who might not have ventured over that way recently

Wow!
We went to an aquarium when we were up North seeing my mum and there was a little area where a worker there showed the kids (and us) all manner of sea creatures and let them touch the safe ones. We saw a hermit crab. It was fascinating. My GD was just 3  but she loved it.

That is so cool, am going to show my youngest - he is a creature freak and wants to be a Marine Biologist when he grows up - well today -  anyway ;-)

It does look pretty cute to me though with it's legs all tucked up in that shell - awww.

I have just had a thought, it can see it's predators :-)

Aww! That is really sweet.

That is cooler than a frozen thing

That's so cool, what a simple but clever way of seeing their way of living
