Did You Know?

Did you know that the Red Rock Crab has: black-tipped claws and has little red spots on its shell? That they molt their shells and grow new ones? The way they see is very cool. They have light-sensed eyes. And did you know that there are 4,500 crab species in the world? But did you know you can only find 93 species locally?
