Crabs Build Their Own Galaxy

Crabs
Crabs Build Their Own Galaxy

“Small hermit and soldier crabs in Malaysia and Australia build their home digging a deep hope in the sand on a beach. They got a good idea of how to move sand up during his construction. Down in the hole this crab is making sand balls and later push them up to the surface, 2-3 balls at a time. Pushing sand ball more far from the hole they form a kind of sand ball flower or sand ball galaxy. Up close you can see the almost perfectly spherical balls that the crabs engineer. They are meticulous in their method to say the very least.”
