    A very young, small Arrow crab?

    Did it actually walk around?

    Photo, we demand photo :D

    kids, if you drive down the road with your windows open, music blaring and you think you look cool.....

    Just remember, everybody looking at you is thinking "what a pratt" and laughing at you.

    lol i wish i thought of it at the time but never as im half pished. it did walk around quite a lot then dissapeared but will defo have camera ready next time :)


    edit no i just had a look on google it wasnt an arrow crab but i can see what you mean by comparison. it moved like a starfish so i thought it was but it had more than 5 legs,

    edit again... no i just asked and they reckon it had 5 so must be a starfish or could it be something different?
