Sand, Sun, and Spooky Fun - Meet the Ghost Crab of Galapagos Islands!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Ardea Picture Library, we are transported to the stunning Santiago Island in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. The image captures a fascinating creature known as the Ghost Crab (Ocypode gaudichaudii), showcasing its full length and unique features. With its eerie name and mysterious appearance, this ghostly crab is perfectly adapted to its sandy home in the intertidal zone. Its translucent body allows it to blend seamlessly with its surroundings while scuttling across the beach like a phantom. Don't be fooled by its spectral nature though; these crabs are very much alive! The snapshot was taken on a sunny day back in 2011 when people were enjoying their time outdoors on this picturesque island. As they soaked up the sun, little did they know that beneath their feet lurked these enigmatic creatures. This print from Ardea Wildlife Pets Environment serves as a reminder of how diverse our planet's wildlife can be. From majestic mammals to tiny crustaceans like this ghost crab, every animal plays an important role in maintaining ecological balance. So next time you find yourself strolling along a sandy shore or exploring an exotic destination like Santiago Island, keep your eyes peeled for these elusive ghosts of the sand!
