The Egret Crab is a creature that lives in some of greatest
depths of the ocean. It has long legs that bend back giving it a very strange
appearance. It has adapted like this to support itself on the ocean floor. Its
body resembles an egret with its long neck. Coming out of its body are two
skinny arms with claws on the end that it uses to catch its favorite meal, the
Shelled Scuttler. On its long neck it has a small head with eight eyes. It has
a long beak also similar to egrets for stabbing and eating. Its main diet the
Shelled Scuttler is always the prey of these crabs for they refuse to eat
anything else. The crab uses its claws to snap off all of the Scuttler’s
tentacles. Then it sticks its beak inside and drinks the Scuttler like a
smoothie. It is truly a fierce predator.
