There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Daniel Rosengren: " "I mostly use my right arm when playing tennis"

In many crab species, males have one huge claw and one small claw. The huge one is used for defence, to intimidate and fight other males and to impress females. However, such a big claw is very impractical for feeding which instead is the job of the smaller claw.
This individual has lost its left claw entirely. This is actually no big deal, the next time it moults (crawls out of its exoskeleton to enable it to grow larger) it will regenerate the missing claw.
