This giant red hermit crab is wearing a man-made glass shell. By providing this crab with a transparent home, the people at @GulfSpecimen1 are able to educate the public about the rest of the the crab’s body without having to crack its shell open (which often kills the crab).

Part 2. The lost Sculptures of the most famous actress in the world. Sarah Bernhardt (1844-1923) not only created exceptional portrait busts & marble statues, she also explored the gothic & surreal. See her Self Portrait as a Chimera (1887) & Algae (1900). Thanks @Smnspier
