Now The Crabs Are Dying

And there’s more: “Thousands of dead crabs have washed up along the Kent coast, with environmental experts believing the cold weather in Britain is to blame. The Velvet swimming crabs — also called devil crabs — are thought to be victims of Britain’s coldest December in 120 years, which left sea temperatures much lower than average. More than 40,000 of the crabs — Britain’s largest swimming crab — are littering beaches around Thanet, along with smaller numbers of whelks, sponges and anemones.”
