Changi Beach Park Intertidal Walk

On 23rd January 2008, we went to Changi Beach Park with our homeschool friends. It was very fun finding sea creatures. We saw lots of hermit crabs and around the seaweed there were a lot of mussels. There was a crab called the mooncrab. It was shaped like a moon and its legs had paddles. When the guide July put it on the sand, it sunk in a split second!


This is the moon crab!

Ooo, I missed seeing the moon crab! I really is an amazing little digger isn't it?!

Thank you for sharing and looking forward to more posts!

Wow! It is good you see an animal like the mooncrab burrowing in the sand. You definitely cannot get this kind of experience in a book. You see how fieldwork is so important? You get to find things for yourself and see the 'real stuff'! It is also fun too, especially when you explore nature with your family. For your information, seastar, sea cucumbers, marine worms, solefishes, stingrays - all these, and many more, like to burrow in the sand! ha ha! Keep writing and keep smiling!
