Summary

Description
English: Mangrove tree crab (Aratus pisonii) at North Palm Beach, Florida, USA
Here is another of my favorite neighbors, the mangrove crab. He climbs to the tops of mangrove trees and grazes upon the tasty leaves...and apparently a few flowers! In this photo, the crab is about 10 feet up the tree (I'm standing on a 5 foot sea wall). Mangrove crabs are exceptionally shy as just about every bird, raccoon, otter and fish loves to eat them. This one is in a black mangrove tree but they love white and red mangroves too and all three grow together in our little neighborhood estuary.
