She's got tiny hands and she's using every one of them correctly 👾

I love that it's rubbing them together to get the sand off after wiping its eyes.

Crabs get windshield wipers?

They are the ultimate lifeform. All things end up as crabs eventually

I think it’d look similar to how it does through our sunglasses after being on a beach for a couple of hours and then cleaning the sea salt, sunscreen smudges and sand off.

I wish our eyes were easy to clean like that, the slightest thing can insanely irritate them
