Watch your toes! Tiny crabs invading Galveston bathrooms
SUMMARY: Dozens of tiny crabs have been found seeking shelter inside the restrooms at a camping area in Galveston, Texas. These crabs, known as fiddler crabs, have gotten lost while looking for shade from the sun. The crabs eat dead plants and animal matter, and are crucial for providing oxygen to the marsh grasses and underwater seagrass meadows due to their burrowing habits. The park asks visitors to help release any trapped crabs since they are too small to open doors.
