Gulls Verses Crab

Don't Taste Me Bro!

We recently visited Sarasota as part of our latest additions for PlacesAroundFlorida.com. While visiting Longboat Key we photographed this standoff between two seagulls and a medium sized land crab.

I Can Has Cheezeburger?

We didn’t interfere and watched as the seagulls eventually figured the crab was more trouble than it was worth.

No Pose For U!

Since the crab was exposed and away from his hole, we took the opportunity as he posed for a shot before he covered himself, then remained motionless until we left.
