Crab

Crab Hole As I walked along the road, excitement coursing through me, I started to get closer to the beach. I took in everything around me, the sand already digging into my feet, the mountain in the distance, covered with lush green trees and full of vibrant colorful flowers. I could smell the scent of salt in the air, watching the rolling waves of blue, clear water. I breathed in the fresh air and said to myself, ”This is what Hawaii smells like.” This was because I was in Hawaii. My whole family stumbled out of the rental car, my mom, dad, and my brother, all looked as if they had just been run over by a stampede of buffalo. I kicked up a spray of sand as I jogged down the sandy slope to the ocean. As I got near the ocean, the waves washed up to my ankles, and retreated as quickly as they had come. As I walked down the beach, I realized that there were these small little holes, where the sea didn’t wash up to. I never knew there were holes on some beaches I thought. As I looked down one hole, all I saw was the sand of the walls and darkness throughout the peculiar tunnel. But then, out of the blue, I saw a flicker of movement inside of the mysterious hole. As I took a closer look, I realized that it was a crab! It had alien-like features, with a shiny outside shell, and beady, unblinking eyes, it looked…

The horseshoe crab marvelous reign may come to an end because we are interacting with these fascinating creatures. Humans should not interact with these magnificent creatures because interacting with these creatures can cause the decrease in other endangered species which provide jobs…

Tom’s the Fiddler Crab Catcher One late afternoon, as I looked out from a large window where I work, I saw this raggedy white van pulling into the parking lot. As It park towards the north side of the lot, I noticed the AC unit protruding from the back door. My attention changed as a customer came in I greeted him and, as usual with his nasty attitude he said “Newport one hundred on a box, a blue game and the rest on pump 5”. He dangled the bundled up twenty-dollar bill on the counter, revolved…

Evolution by natural selection and predator induced phenotypic plasticity are mechanisms that have been proposed to describe the effect of crab predation on snail shell thickness. Biologist Robin Seeley hypothesized that the periwinkle populations of New England evolved by natural selection as the European green crab was introduced to the area (Seeley, 1986). The three requirements for evolution by natural selection are that there is variation among a population, the variation is partly…

Apprehensively daring to ask, “How many crabs will we catch?” Dr. Edwards replied, “We are allowed ten per person, so fifty.” Mauricio who had only been left with two in his catch nervously observed Dr. Edwards and commented, “You make all this look and sound so easy!” Dr. Edwards mentioned, “I have been doing this since I was a boy with my father. It’s now second nature to clamp the claw with one smooth swoop, just pick him up and drop him in the live well like this.” Rigid Mauricio…

presentations, about rainforests and rainforest animals. I did my presentation on the King Cobra and made a scale model snake out of foam pipe. I named it Arthur. During Second grade, I also wrote a paper on camouflage in the natural world. This was done in creative writing, and took most of the year to complete. Till this day I still wish I had a copy of it. And then of course, I would be amiss to not mention the cabin. Located in Gig Harbor the cabin was built out on the water, strutting out…
