Shell-vis Presley is home and 'All Shook Up' after unplanned visit to Gauteng
Meet Shell-vis Presley, the hermit crab who embarked on an unexpected adventure from Gauteng to Kidd's Beach.
Shell-vis Presley, a hermit crab, has returned home after an unplanned visit to Gauteng. The tiny crustacean made a safe journey from Gauteng back to Kidd's Beach in the Eastern Cape, where he belongs. Shell-vis Presley was mistaken for a shell and packed into a family's beach bag during their holiday in the Eastern Cape. The Randburg SPCA received a call about the stowaway and helped to care for the hermit crab until he could be sent back home.
After obtaining necessary permissions from government authorities and Airlink, the hermit crab was transported back to Kidd's Beach. The SPCA and Airlink confirmed that Shell-vis arrived safely at his natural habitat.
