Harry the Hermit Crab Lives in a LEGO Shell

While most hermit crabs prefer to cover their delicate soft tails in the discarded shells of other marine animals, Harry is a little different. A resident at the Windsor LEGOLAND resort, Harry rejected all the snail and shellfish shells that were offered to him by museum staff. Then someone must have remembered the name of their workplace and built this handsome, multicolored home for Harry out of LEGOs. 

According to the U.K. Guardian, the shell was designed and built especially for Harry. Despite the effort, the staff wasn’t sure he’d take to his new digs. However, he seems like one happy, housed crustacean at the moment.
