In the karianChola Trek, we crossed over a water path in side the evergreen forest. Our guide babu quickly observed that there are crabs in the water. He caught some crabs in his bare hands and showed it to us. He asked us to hold it gently at the center and not to apply pressure on the crabs.

Look at the sharp eyes...

We all took turns and held the crab, took photos. Since these crabs are small ones, it didn't bite us.

Believe me, we left it back safely in water :)
