Somewhere on the shorelines of Mumbai, a crab lives under a rock. If you flip the rock to steal a glimpse, it tucks its arms inside and imitates a rock. While we would have preferred Abra-crab-dab-ra, experts choose to call it the maroon stone crab. This writer knows this because they’ve just returned from a marine life exploration… on Instagram.
Tidepooling GO is a series of posts that takes users on a Pokémon-themed exploration of the thriving marine life in Mumbai’s intertidal zones using references to the familiar pocket monsters. The sneaky crab, for instance, finds a partner in Krabby, the notorious crab from the Japanese series.
