Fiddler Crab Species - Anatomy, Habitat, and Behavior Guide #3047931 (License: Personal Use)

The image shows a male fiddler crab (genus Uca), identifiable by its dramatically enlarged major cheliped, which it uses for courtship displays and territorial disputes; the smaller minor claw handles feeding. Its dark carapace and slender walking legs are adapted for navigating muddy intertidal zones. These crabs burrow into sediment to avoid predators and regulate moisture during low tide.
