"Mr. Crab". I chose this photo because I've never seen a full crab shell before. It makes me happy when I look at it because it's red and white and spotted. It represents our ecosystem because a bird probably ate the crab, and it's an example of the food chain.

I was lucky to find this octopus on Northshore. An octopus is very difficult to photograph as they change color to blend into their environment. Octopus are a lot smarter than people as they use they adapt to their surroundings and don't destroy it. Having 9 brains and three hearts.
