Siamese Twin Turtles
If you look around long enough on any part of the Oregon coast, you’ll find something unusual. Normally, it doesn’t take too long, but sometimes it’s right in front of you, in the oddest place. Such is the case with two different ends of the coast. In Newport, a mass stranding of crabs has drawn some attention, and in Seaside, someone has discovered a Siamese twin crab maturing amidst a brood of thousands of scarlet king crabs. Newport resident and beach expert Terry Morse found a humongous array of crabs lying around the beach there on March 10. It’s one of those regular irregularities the ocean likes to cough up periodically, especially in spring.
