Batik Crab
(Metasesarma obesum)

Picture
Ketam(which means crab in Malaysian) is a very cute little female crab. Batik crabs are found in fresh water rivers and lakes all over Malaysia. She runs like the wind (sideways!) so you have to keep your wits about you. She doesn't pinch and is very gentle. I love watching her feed, it's hilarious!
