Lobster or Crab





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.
