EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a Horned Ghost Crab (Ocypode ceratophthalmus) in its natural habitat. With its unique features, this crab stands out among its fellow crustaceans. As with other ghost crabs, it boasts one claw larger than the other, which serves various purposes in their daily lives. Living on sandy beaches and coastal areas, these fascinating creatures create intricate burrows where they seek refuge and protection from predators. Emerging from their sandy abodes, they scavenge for debris and carrion to sustain themselves. This image was taken on Cousin Island, situated amidst the enchanting Seychelles archipelago in the Indian Ocean. The photograph showcases the stunning coastline of Cousin Island as well as highlighting the delicate balance between nature and wildlife that exists there. The soft golden sand provides a perfect backdrop for this horned ghost crab's striking appearance. With its horns and claws prominently displayed, this marine arthropod exemplifies both strength and grace within its tiny frame. It is a testament to the wonders of marine biology found within our oceans' depths. Peter Chadwick's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this particular creature but also raises awareness about our fragile ecosystems that need safeguarding for future generations to enjoy.
