Fun Distraction: Blue Planet II

Image advertising the Library’s FUN Distractions series post on crabs, their predators, and BBC’s Blue Planet II

On the coast of Brazil the crabs gather each day waiting for low tide to make their perilous journey 100M off shore to the seaweed covered rocks of their feeding ground. Along the way they must dodge and jump to escape the clutches of eels and octopuses. Check out this beautifully filmed video from the BBC’s Blue Plant II series about the crabs’ adventure.
