Of course, today we forgot the camera. We got to the beach and there were dozens of these tiny lobsters washed ashore. I drove the Professor crazy by stopping every time I saw one that was beached and scooped up the sand under it and carried the lobster back into the surf.
I have not figured this out. Apparently squat lobsters and the red tuna crab are the same species. Don't have a clue if they are the same and the names get mixed up or not.
Anyway it was interesting to see these tiny sea creatures stranded on the beach. I don't know what happened to the ones I threw back into the ocean.. They might have ended back on the beach or as lunch for a sea gull. But they are certainly interesting and new to the Professor and me.
