Oldenburg in need: Chinese wool hand crabs overrun the city!

Oldenburg, Niedersachsen, Deutschland - Oldenburg is facing a hairy invasion: Chinese wool hand crabs take over the city! The uncanny arachnids, which can be up to 30 centimeters tall and 400 grams, are increasingly appearing in door frames and parks - and not just dead on the street. This plague spreads rapidly and threatens the local ecosystem. Fischer complain about damaged fishing nets, while conservationists are alerted because the crabs displace undesirable other animal species.

The wool hand crabs that originally come from China have been well established on the North Sea. They are everyday and even eat larvae from other animals. The sightings are increasing on the banks of Bremen and Lower Saxony, and the environmental authorities try to master the scourge with special traps to capture the robbers and to regain balance. An eerie sight that makes the residents on alert! You can find more on this gripping topic www.hna.de .
