EDITORS COMMENTS
Crabby Clinger: This Northern kelp crab knows how to hold on tight! Caught in the act, this large adult male is showcasing its impressive grip as it clings to strands of bull kelp. With a backdrop of Nigei Island in Queen Charlotte Strait, British Columbia, this photo perfectly captures the beauty and diversity of marine life in the Pacific Northwest. The vibrant yellow-green algae and brown kelp create a stunning underwater tapestry for our crustacean friend to showcase its climbing skills. In this snapshot by David Hall from Nature Picture Library, we witness the fascinating world of marine creatures thriving amidst the lush seaweed forests. The Northern kelp crab belongs to the decapod family and showcases its unique ability to navigate through these underwater jungles with ease. Its striking appearance against the backdrop of Nereocystis luetkeana adds an extra touch of charm. This image reminds us that nature's wonders are not limited to land but extend into the depths below. So next time you find yourself exploring coastal waters or simply daydreaming about ocean adventures, remember there's always something incredible waiting beneath the surface!
