albino blue crab iso swf
just another freaky thing in the local waters….
Watermen Find Albino Crab in Upper Chesapeake [ap via wtop, with photo]“I’ve seen some crabs split down the middle with color on one side but none completely white,” Ingledue told The (Easton) Star Democrat.
The crab measured almost seven inches across its back. The shell was translucent enough to watch the water and air sloshing in its gills when it was out of the water.
the star democrat is online, but it’s also registration-blocked, so we’ll mention them, but that’s about it.
the crab will be given to the university of maryland biotechnology institute, so watch there for news on the freak beastie from the bay. they want to breed him, so if you know of any single white females, give them a call….
