Another amusing entry for the “Same, Yet Different” file:
A new species of crab that looks like a strawberry has been discovered in Taiwan.
Marine biologist Professor Ho Ping-ho found two of the creatures while researching the environmental impact of a shipwreck on Kenting National Park.
There is already a Strawberry Crab, apparently. Sometimes known as a Red Boxing Crab, it’s found in the waters around Hawaii. This latest species, however, looks much more like its fruity namesake.
