When The Tide Goes Up

When the tide goes up... so do the Tree-Climbing Crabs of Sungei Buloh. When we were there the tide seemed to be a little high. Because of this, almost all these arboreal crabs have been forced to move up higher up the trees.

Notice that these exposed roots of the mangroves are full of crabs. Here's a couple taking shelter ina hole. If they don't move up in time, they'll probably drown if the tide goes any higher.
