It is Raccoon Appreciation Day! 🦝

Raccoons are known for their bandit-like dark face masks which are most likely anti-glare devices.🦝

In St. Eustatius at our Conservation Volunteer Project, you can encounter some masters of camouflage, that is, if you see them. 😍

One of those masters is the little tiny neck crab. 🫣
