Morning Starters: Summer 2 - Oceans
Did You Know?
Spider crabs gather by the thousands in Australia’s southern oceans, creating a spectacular march across the seagrass plains. These incredible gatherings occur so the crabs can grow—they shed their old, hard shells to allow new ones to form. While they are vulnerable during this process, the crabs’ massive numbers provide safety in a group. This natural phenomenon is a unique rhythm of the ocean’s life cycle.
