This could be one Mangrove Tree Crab molting
Or it could be two Mangrove Tree Crabs getting down
Or it could be that one is a life guard
Who saved the other, who was about to drown.

(Ok, not gonna lie, I have no clue what is going on here. I have sent it to 2 nature nerd friends so far and we haven't reached a definitive conclusion, although we are leaning towards the molting theory. I'm open to suggestions!)
