THE DEFENSIVE CRAB:

THE HERMIT

There are many interesting creatures living in
the seas. These creatures mostly defend

themselves by the most unusual methods. Hermit
crabs, for instance, use live weapons to protect
themselves from octopuses and other enemies.
There is a type of vegetation that exists at the

bottom of the ocean. The hermits collect these
plants and put them on top of their shells. The
reason for this is that these plants have thorns

that are painful to the touch. In this way, the
hermits protect themselves from their predators.
Do not forget that hermit crabs could not have
thought of such a brilliant plan all on their own.

Allah has taught them how to protect themselves.
