A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Hi Hunter2, We are really excited about this spotting and would love to have more information about where it was caught. The photo looks to be from a boat? But the location is a residence in an area with no obvious waterway. Please contact us at SERCMittenCrab@si.edu or 443-482-2222. Thanks, Monaca
good to know, I'm lucky I didn't get bit.
Hi Hunter2, This is a really interesting spotting. We'd love to know more details about the crab and the area where it was seen. Please call the Mitten Crab Hotline at 443-482-2222 or email us at SERCMittenCrab@si.edu. Thanks, Monaca Noble at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.
that's cool, looks like its wearing a green shirt.
wow, what a tree! I would love to see that. Thanks for posting.
I'm not sure about sand dunes, but they have done damage to levees. There have only been a few mitten crabs spotted on the Gulf Coast and we defiantly need more information. BTW I added the text to the photo using picnik, a free online photo editor.
Hi Heather,
I posted these photos for the mitten crab mission. I helped create the Mitten Crab Watch Website. I am hoping others will share there spottings with me.
Thanks
very cool, looks like you could drink out of them.
