Our Plastic Sally Lightfoot Crab

This unusual, colorful crab is one in our series of lively and lifelike plastic animals found in the Galapagos Islands. It has a realistic shape but the true coloration of this crab varies quite a bit. Although predominently bright red, it is often mottled with dark yellow and is often a deep red brown with traces of blue, So if you are looking for more accuracy, you might like to take out your paintbrush. The Sally lightfoot crab will be enjoyed as part of a school project, diorama, plastic animal collection, as a party favor, or gift. Our plastic Sally lightfoot crab measures 2 5/8 inches from leg to leg.

About Sally Lightfoot Crabs

The Sally lightfoot crab (Percnon gibbesi) is one of the most common crabs along the coast of South America. It is especially prevalent along the rocky shores of the Galapagos Islands. The crab derives its name from the fact that it scuttles along on its tiptoes, thereby appearing light-footed. It has large eyes and remarkable vision. It runs very quickly, is incredibly hard to sneak up on and catch and, even as a group, changes directions almost instantly. It eats algae and almost any kind of organic refuse. The Sally lightfoot crab is a prolific breeder and fortunately is not endangered like many other animals in this region.
