Crab week at the touch tank!


This week at the Portsmouth touch tank, our featured creature is the crab! Just in time to celebrate, we noticed one of our female crabs is carrying bright orange eggs!

We will have to keep a close eye on her, and hopefully we will have some new baby crabs by the end of the summer!



Stop by Wed-Sun between 8:30 am and 2 pm to see this crab or any of our others - we have jonah crabs, rock crabs, green crabs, and asian shore crabs in the tank right now! Hope to see you soon.
