Little hermit crab Pylopagurus discoidalis living in an old ballpoint pen. Notice how its claw is rounded, perfectly shaped to form a protective seal for the round pen opening. This species is normally adapted to live in scaphopod shells, which also are elongated with a circular opening. One of the rare cases where nature can make good use of our plastic waste. -- source link
