Guess Who Else Enjoys Eating Crab Legs?
It turns out that a crab does! This morning we watched a blue crab eat a blue crab claw that it had scavenged from the bottom of the salt marsh.
I shot these photos and video looking down and into the silty salt water where the crab was dining on it’s feast. Several small fish also arrived on the scene but the crab kept kicking them away using one of it’s side legs. Watch for that in the lower right corner of the video!




very very cool…..maybe I need a pet crab to crack my claws for me at dinner…this one sure looks like an expert! great pics Phil….
It does look like an expert. Thanks very much Maleea!
Wow, that is some cannibalism right there! Creepy.
Yeah it’s more then a little bizarre. Was cool to see though.
What a little glutton he is! Cool shots and video!
He chowed down on that crab claw like a champ. Thanks for looking Molly!
