“Once we saw him juggling the hermit crabs in his tank, another time he threw stones against the glass damaging it. And from time to time he completely re-arranges his tank to make it suit his own taste better - much to the distress of his fellow tank inhabitants.”

Otto is a very funny creature! It’s interesting how odd and territorial some creatures can be(like the turtle at the bottom of the blog). I recently got back from a cruise to Cabo San Lucas. It was absolutely amazing! Anyway, while snorkeling we found a little hermit crab that was so territorial. we would pick up a star fish and put it in his little “cove” and he would literally pick it up and move it out. We did this over and over again and each time he would do the same thing. Needless to say this fascinated me for hours. Funny creatures!

Animals of all kinds are very smart. Never seen anything like this before though. Very interesting.
