We have similar crabs coming out of our storm water drain, and straight into a dam.

Tsek the two of you! Leave the crab! Thank god he ended up on Drifters driveway and not yours. Poor guy. Must be suffering in this heat as well.

This has me thinking... Crab is NOT fish. Hmmmmm... Braaied crab.

I found a crab in my pool a year or so ago. Was also quite surprised!

Figured it was a bird or something that dropped it there, as we live less than a kilometer from a dam.

EDIT: Plus it lost one pincer, so I assumed it had broken off in the bird's mouth

Must be some small local streams in Vereeniging.

The Moreleta stream in PTA East has basically stopped flowing. A mere trickle here and there. Drought.

Municipal drinking water supply. I've seen frogs & crabs come from burst municipal water pipes.

Oh bless your kind heart. Hope he will be ok. I suppose you can feed him some cat food?

We will, for now we got him in an old fish tank with sand and some fresh water.

If the crab is from the Vaal, I would have rather put sewage water in the tank, they cant handle clean water, there is none in the area :D
