Hungry hermits
A specialised type of land hermit crab lives on the Lakshadweep Islands in India. The land hermits scavenge for dead fish on the tide line, often having to fight for a good meal. They'll scavenge anything from coconuts to fish. Despite being so adapted to land, they still have to return to the sea to breed.
