Hermaphrocrab!

[Ghoulish Delight]

Freaky, a crab that's literally half male and half female.

Johnson named the crab "Jerry," after the talk-show host.


"We thought Jerry Springer would be the only place where the crab would feel comfortable," he said. "He has a lot of unusual stuff on that show."

Actually, Johnson conducted his own experiment before handing the crab over to scientists. He put the crustacean in a floating tank with a female crab that was ready to mate.


At first the bi-gendered crab cradled the female crab, as if it was protecting it. That's male behavior. But a day later, the crab let go and gobbled up half the female crab - a sign of female aggression in a species where cannibalism is common.
