Because of their large size and the taste of their meat, many species are widely caught and sold as food, the most common being the red king crab ("Paralithodes camtschaticus"). King crabs are generally thought to be derived from hermit crab-like ancestors, which may explain the asymmetry still found in the adult forms. This ancestry is supported by several anatomical peculiarities which are present only in king crabs and hermit crabs. Although some doubt still exists about this theory, king crabs are the most
Planalto hermit Planalto hermit The planalto hermit ("Phaethornis pretrei") is a species of bird in the family Trochilidae, the hummingbirds. It is found in eastern and south-central Brazil, eastern Bolivia, Paraguay, and marginally in north-western Argentina. It is usually easily recognized by its relatively large size, broad white tips to all the rectrices, and cinnamon-buff underparts and rump – the latter contrasing clearly with its tail and remaining upperparts.
