A CRAB ON SOUTH PADRE ISLAND

in nature •  6 years ago 

It's always something different.


When we travel to Texas, not only do we like to go to Mexico, but we enjoy heading out to South Padre Island too. Unfortunately, things are always changing and it is never the same. Sometimes there are Sea Slugs and Sea Turtles cruising around, and other times seeing any wildlife can be difficult. Sometimes the water is clear with amazing visibility, other times it's so cloudy you can barely see your hand in front of you goggles.

Today, the wildlife was few and far between, and the sea was rough and cloudy. We still had a great time, and I hope to put out a video about it, but I wanted to share these crab photos with you first. It was a peaceful crab and pretty slow, so it was easy to photograph. Enjoy!

It looked like such a big crab until the last picture.

Yeah, that happens sometimes. I think it works out well to provide perspective like the "proof."

Crabs have great lives

Plus, they help eat the rotting bodies in the sea!

Everybody wins!

How neat is that? Haven't been there since 2005 or so.

It is incredibly neat!

Cool looking crabs!

I think wildlife is a little on the scarce side because of the lack of rain this year.

Hope you Peppers are having a blast!

Tip!

Could be. Still having a blast, and we did meet up with some jellyfish too!

By the way, we somehow lived in the Crimea with tents. Once we found a great similar to your crab. We cooked him and he was so delicious, that I remember to this time...

Not scared of this one.
It is a lil cutie too.

LOL - A great type of crab to catch!

Excellent photos and amazing to see a crab from different sides! Thank you @papa-pepper

It was amazing to hold in my hand too!

What s great place and beautiful crab - I love those chunky claws 😍🌈🍀🦋🌅🌴

Used to go to South Padre pretty frequently. One of the rare places where the crabs will come at you instead of trying to find a place to hide!
