Hermit crabs are Ongoing Archivesjust like us: they need a safe place to hide from terrible humans.

A crab believed to be found in the Pacific's Pitcairn Islands was recently spotted with a rather unusual shell: a baby doll's head. Typically, hermit crabs use abandoned sea snail shells as their protective shell.

The crab involved is a coconut crab, one of the larger species of hermit crabs. It's not too distant from the crappy hermit crabs you used to buy as a kid at PetCo and then immediately regret purchasing.

Marine litter is a gnawing problem for the hermit crab community, leading them to make unfortunate fashion choices like this one.

We feel your pain, crab. Just maybe make better decisions with your fashion.
