Crab fight
Sand Bubbler Crab (Scopimera sp.)
Super bored sitting alone on the beach with no bird to shoot. Then the crabs caught my attention. The bigger crab (1-1.5cm) on the left ran in from the right. The smaller crab on the right came out to defend its burrow. But the bigger crab on the left nearly pinned the opponent down. The smaller right crab gave up and ran off while the bigger crab went in to check the burrow. The poor loser hung around quite a while, trying to move back in. But each time, the bigger crab popped up and it got frightened and ran some distance away.
