"As we slowly moved down to the bottom of the seafloor, all of the sudden we saw these things," Pineda said. "At first, we thought they were biogenic rocks or structures. Once we saw them moving—swarming like insects—we couldn't believe it."

The crabs are Pleuroncodes planipes, or tuna crabs, and are usually found around Baja California. The Panamanian coast is a long way from home.

"No one had ever found this species that far south," Pineda said. "To find a species at the extreme of their range and to be so abundant is very unusual."

Global cooling. Of course they are moving closer to the equator to stay warm.

Don’t forget the mirror treatment. When they jump on the mirror, thinking it’s a new host, run like hell.

Hyperbole, it's a literary device, don't ask; don't tell!
