sentosa beach walk

We went to sentosa beach walk to spot sea creatures.




This is an onch, short form of onchidium, a type of sea slug which is often mistaken for a part of a rock. It can squirt out some liquid when frightened.

This is a video clip of a pair of horseshoe crabs. They are upside down.

Dear Sophia,

I love your video of the coastal horseshoe crabs! They were an amazing find! The Naked Hermit Crabs were back at Sentosa on Monday, but we did not see the horseshoe crabs again. So, your trip was quite special, in my opinion.

Happy nature exploring!

Hi Sophia!

What a cool video, and must have been so exciting to see the crabs!! Why were they upside down?

And was it mummy who touched the crab? So daring..haha..
