Aaaaaaaah!!!!!!!! :scared: More dead animals!!!!1

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.

This is a Stephen King novel in the making..
 
:( That's just mean.

Yes, I agree.......... the poor crabs died of boredom waiting for something worth watching. Those Aussie batsmen should be prosecuted for cruelty to our devil crabs. :lol:
