Location: Fernandina Island, Galapagos, Ecuador

Of all the animals in the Galapagos these little buggers seemed to be the toughest to photograph. They had an amazing talent for only posing in front of rocks that looked dry but were invariably covered by a nice layer of slime. Hopefully the crabs get a kick out of watching someone slowly creep up to them only to go sprawling just before they get close enough to snap a photo.
