What a miracle.
:26:12
What heavenly beauty.
:26:18
Before us is the Dorippe granulata.
:27:10
This crab's forward two pairs of legs
are long and thick,
:27:14
and the hind two pairs of legs
are short, thin and bent onto his back.
:27:23
With the pincers of these legs,
:27:26
he can hold on to the fold
of mollusk shells,
:27:30
preferably whelks and periwinkles.
:27:34
This way, the crab can cover himself,
:27:38
and for this he got the nickname
hermit crab.
:27:41
The fishermen of the Japanese Sea
also call him the Samurai's head.
:27:46
In the vividness and furrow of the shell,
:27:48
you can see the similarity with
the classical mask of an angry Samurai,
:27:51
the way he is depicted by our actors
in the Kabuki theatre.
:27:56
What a miracle!
:27:58
Just look at this miracle. . .
