Grossartige Idee: Das National Sea Life Centre in Birmingham stattete den Einsiedlerkrebs Howard kurzerhand mit einem Glashaus aus, sehr zur Freude der Besucher – lässt sich doch so ausnahmsweise mal ein Blick ins Innere werfen.
‚He doesn’t know it but all his vulnerable organs and soft parts are now on full view. Normally you’d only see the eyes, legs and claws so he’s a really fascinating subject to show off to visitors and help them learn. ‚We’ve had a selection of bigger shells made, so when he’s ready to swap again he’ll just move into the next.‘ Howard is a red hairy hermit crab – Dardanus megistos in Latin – and is normally found on reefs in the Indo-Pacific region, from Africa to the South China Sea.
