Atlantic Sand Crab
emerita talpoida
The Atlantic Sand Crab is a small, lively creature that burrows in the sand at the beach. Kids love to dig for them and watch them scurry back to their sandy homes!
生息地: Shallow coastal waters and sandy beaches along the Atlantic Ocean.
外見
The Atlantic Sand Crab has a smooth, oval-shaped carapace, typically grayish-tan or light brown, that blends perfectly with the sand. Unlike many crabs, it lacks prominent pincer claws, instead featuring flattened, paddle-like legs and feathery antennae.
