Casper the ghost crab is a master of disguise. True to his name, he blends seamlessly into the sandy terrain of his enclosure, often leaving visitors wondering where he’s hiding. But Casper isn’t just about stealth—he’s also an ingenious architect.
Using his sharp claws, Casper builds complex burrows with twisting tunnels and strategic escape routes. One day, the keepers introduced a small shell into his enclosure as an enrichment item. Casper, ever the innovator, dragged it to the entrance of his burrow and positioned it as a decorative door. Visitors were fascinated, and Casper became an instant celebrity.
His most endearing habit, however, is his "waving." Whenever he emerges from the sand, he raises one tiny claw, a gesture that many interpret as a greeting. While keepers explain it as natural behavior, it never fails to delight guests, making Casper a favorite among children and adults alike.
