Went for class gathering at East Coast and went cycling. Was trying to ID the plants while cycling and went a bit crazy cos i kept looking up at the trees. Haha. Didn't bring my camera so didn't take any pictures.
But when me and truman were cycling, i saw a shell moving on the ground. We stopped and went to take a look.
My first thought was that it is a Orange Striped Hermit Crab, Clibanarius infraspinatus. But i started to think a lot and wondered why on earth will a hermit crab be stranded at the middle of the pathway? Then i started thinking if it is a land hermit crab ._. LOL. It has a poor friend beside it who got crushed terribly probably by a bicycle or vehicle that went over it. Picked it up from the middle of the pathway and put it at one side to take a picture of it.
I guess it is probably dug out by some people. Quite sad to see this happening. Hope that people will put them back to their original habitat after viewing them and not just leave them somewhere or try to bring it home.
Was thinking if i should throw it into the sea or leave it on the grass. After thinking for a while, we left it on the grass that is close to the drain that leads to the canal and to the open sea.
I hope that this hermit crab doesn't die x_x
