King crabs invade Antarctica

King crabs invade Antarctica

Interesting article about the migration of king crabs into the southern ice fields. Normally they can't survive the extremely frigid temperatures and it is thought that they haven't been present in the antarctic ecosystem for eons. As temperatures becomes more tolerable they have moved in, found themselves a nice home where no prey species have hard shelled defenses and proliferated.
