Hermit crabs traditionally use sea shells or discarded snail shells for shelter (Credit: Wikipedia.org/ Public Domain)

Most crabs have strong exoskeletons to protect them from predators. However, hermit crabs are born with soft bodies. They have usually lived inside sea shells or old snail shells. But, a recent study by Polish scientists has found that the tiny crustaceans are increasingly turning to trash for refuge.

      Hermit crabs aren't like us humans, knowing what is trash and what is home. I feel sorry for them as they do not know what they are doing.

              People should stop littering to protect our animals.

                  That is practical, although people still should not litter.
