I am sharing this once in a lifetime photo taken by Leah Smith with permission to share. I usually never post or share someone else's photo but this one was so unique that I thought it was with sharing. Check it out closely. Tried to find the rules about posting but didn't locate them. If again the rules just delete the post.

That seagull looks a bit confused. The crab, on the other hand, seems quite content for catching his prey.

Or from the bird's stand point "I've got crabs."

Amazing shot, a gull giving a crab a ride. Great timing.

If it's against the rules to post a great shot like that ... & fully declare the creator & their permission, then I'd suggest it's time to change the rules. Great shot Grandpaw ... thank you for sharing it & please share with the photographer that others of us think it's a wonderful shot.

It is a very unusual image. Sorry to be a party pooper, how do we not know it was photoshopped in.If you look at the Exif it shows photoshop actions?

I specifically asked him if the photo had been photoshopped and he said no that was how it was taken. He also he didn't realize the crab was there until later.

It doesn't really look like the crab is holding on to anything - but he may have also just let go, realizing he was out of the water...

To me, It looks like the gull is saying "Say what".

I’d say that gull is in need of a competent loadmaster, to balance the load😎😎😎
