Zombie Crabs
Now here’s something weird that I’ve read about happening, but what makes this strange appearance of animals that seemed to have been sealed up for decades is that the animals were at least caught on film. Here’s the blurb from the YouTube site.
“The Last Word question – the living dead
While digging over a driveway, some workmen I know came across 13 living crabs. They were in a small, sealed chamber around 25 centimetres below the surface of the drive, which was surfaced with sand and gravel over a subsoil of pure sand and laid about 80 years ago. There have been no excavations on the site for at least 40 years. Most of the crabs are around 7 centimetres across, and a barnacle on the shell of one suggests they came from the sea. The nearest seawater – an estuary – is around 4 kilometres away and the sea itself considerably further. A few are now living happily in a water butt. How did they survive where they were discovered?
