March of the Hermit Crabs

I spied this article on Yahoo News, and thought it would be fun to share. IIRC, they all came down to the water to breed. What was filmed was everyone leaving to go back home.

That is an impressive sight. I thought there were a lot of hermit crabs when I went to the Florida Keys, but that's just ridiculous!

So many... That's really cool. My favorite are the ones that go crab-surfing and crawl over their fellow hermit crabs
