Safety First
Species: Uca vocans
Fiddler crabs are highly sensitive to movement and will scurry off at the slightest hint of danger. The eyes of a Fiddler crab are mounted on long stalk giving it a good all-round view of the air and the horizon. This helps it detect predators from afar while at the same time still being able to identify potential mates and rivals.
