Sailor Crab Roams on Loggerhead Back Across the Seas
The Sailor crab, a small resilient species, rides the back of a big loggerhead turtle during long voyages. It clings to the shell amid marine life clusters while sea swells move the giant turtle. The crab feeds on scraps from the turtle’s meals and on vegetation and small creatures gathered in the turtle’s back meadow. The loggerhead provides both shelter and food, but dangers include waves and larger predators.
