Crab sets up home inside creepy doll's head

[UM-Bot]

A hermit crab with an unusual taste in shells was recently filmed picking up a rather sinister alternative.

It might seem amusing but can a hermit crab counteract the buoyancy of that plastic head? Aren�t they bottom feeders?

That doesn’t look like a plastic head it looks porcelain so should be fine. I say that because if you look at where the crab is you can see the dolls head doesn’t have a back. My friends grandma collected old dolls and the porcelain doll heads didn’t have a back on them and were covered by wigs

LOL, it's so cute ! In a way it's recycling...

Oversword, you are certainly right. I was thinking about this as I was dropping off to sleep (I know, I am strange) and thought then the head must have had a wig section that was missing. Plastic heads usually have the hair sewn directly in. That face may have the added benefit of scaring predators off!
