You can tell a lot about a crab just by looking at its claws. Take spider crabs, for example, who have long, slender pinchers that aren’t so great for defense but perfectly suited for feeding on bits of detritus and algae. Like perfect little spoons, spider crabs dip their dainty claws into the mud to scoop out tiny tasty morsels. This week’s food for thought is all about claws – shapes, uses, and special adaptations. Campers will experiment with different utensils to represent claw shapes and investigate which ones are best adapted to different prey. We’ll don our masks and snorkels to try to catch a glimpse of spider crabs trudging through the mud and use nets to find other species. Come find out what stories their claws tell!
