Hermit Crab

Hermit Crabs got lucky when they were given their name. They are not actually crabs at all, they’re related to lobsters. But unlike lobsters they don’t have any protection on their naked little bodies – they’re like ‘ready peeled lobsters’.

Fortunately the chefs of the world haven’t caught on and the Hermit Crabs would like to keep it that way. Normally we ask people to forward these stories on… but, by special request, we’ll make an exception this time.
