I noticed this toad living in a hole near my horse's water bucket. After a quick photo, I returned it to it's spot. I've decided to name it Bilbo.

Blueband Hermit Crab (Pagurus samuelis)Observer
andreacalaDescription
A large Blueband Hermit Crab was dragging another across a tide pool, including up and down a couple of rocks, covering the distance of about 150cm. Since the shell of the dragged crab was quite small, I don’t think this was an eviction attempt. I looked on for all of 7 minutes, to see if this was cannibalism, but the dragging crab didn’t seem to hurt the other crab, just wanted to move it along. So perhaps this was foreplay? Ah, the mysterious lives of Hermit Crabs… (@sea-kangaroo, this reminded me on my observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/26762978, of a feisty youngster’s “play” with a grown-up.)

A green chiton attached to a half crab. We observed this alien looking commensal beast while undertaking an intertidal survey on the reefs off Hawera. It made us jump when we first turned over the rock.

So there I was, at Disneyland with the family, and of course my mind is on what wildlife I might be able to scrounge out of the park. The 7D Mark II and 400mm lens was too big to lug around all day, so I did the best I could with my little Sony bridge camera. Enjoy!
