Big and Been's Beach Animals

Big and Been live and travel on a boat.

This has taken them to far-away places where they have seen many different animals.

  Here are some pictures for you of the beach animals they have seen. They hope you like them!

On the beach, Big and Been see many crabs.

Look at these different types of crabs in the next photos.

Watch another crab almost like the one above...
do you see it walking sideways?

This big one is a coconut crab – guess what it likes to eat?

Look at this coconut crab walking in Chagos:

These next ones are hermit crabs.

When a hermit crab gets too big for its shell, it leaves the shell and finds a bigger one.

    Hermit crabs walk on the beach sand, but they can also walk up sticks.

Watch a hermit crab on a tree in this video below.

   Hermit crabs also like to eat coconuts.

Watch the video below to see how a big hermit crab uses its claws to eat the coconut.

In this video you can see many little crabs eating coconut.

In this one you can see a hermit crab tucking a piece of coconut into its shell to carry it away.

In Thailand there are many elephants and sometimes they are on the beach.

Do you see the sand on the elephant's back? How did it get there?

Look: he has picked up sand in his trunk. 
He likes to throw sand over himself!

In Madagascar the cattle are called zebu.
They like the beach.

Do you like the beach too?
