Large hairy crabs escaped from a box and went scuttling down a train in Germany. Only 10 were caught, the others remain at large: under the seat, in the luggage rack, or behind the fold-down table.
A number of large crabs escaped from a box on a German train and not all have been found, police said on Tuesday.
Staff on the ICE high-speed service from Hamburg to Stuttgart noticed that the crustaceans, known as Shanghai Hairy Crabs because of their furry claws, were crawling down the corridor.
"They were able to round up 10 crabs. Others weren't found and remain at large," transport police in the northern town of Hanover said in a statement.

Mabye they thought they were in a Fiat commercial.

‘Girls with crabs’ in a Fiat is not very enticing. Says a lot for leg room, however.

Staff on the ICE high-speed service from Hamburg to Stuttgart noticed that the crustaceans, known as Shanghai Hairy Crabs because of their furry claws, were crawling down the corridor. At least the crabs are on ICE.

Train staff handed the animals to the police at the next station, Göttingen, where officers placed them in salt water to try to keep them alive. They were then handed over to the fire brigade which passed them on to an animal expert. Sadly, only four have survived so far, a police spokesman said.
In this experiment we find the proper temperature for saving train crabs. Four survived at 5° C. The other six died at 100°C.
