cosby the crab

This is Cosby the Crab. I bought him from some local kids on the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica for $5.00. It seemed like a reasonable price to set him free to live another day. My Friend Eddy who grew up in Costa Rica said, " Mae, I have never seen one this big before". I could tell he was making the connection between animals and food. It was strange but it was a very powerful moment. We waited about a half hour until the local fishermen had disappeared into the sunset before sending him back into the Caribbean. Maybe he is still out there, maybe you had him for dinner? Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
