where they eat algae as well as bits of food that fish and aquarium animals, such as snails, leave behind. Commercial hermit crab foods are available for crabs that are raised without other species present and therefore do not have access to food, but aquarium hermit crabs thrive on practically any food, from beef to eggs and vegetable.

Where do Hermit crabs live?

Hermit crabs are often kept in aquariums,for la These crabs spend most of their life underwater as aquatic animals, live in varying depths of saltwater from shallow reefs and shorelines to deep sea bottoms and rarely leave for land.Most species are aquatic and live in varying depths of salt water, from shallow reefs and shorelines to deep sea bottoms. Tropical areas host some terrestrial species, though even those have aquatic larvae and therefore need access to water for reproduction. Hermit crabs return to the sea to deposit their eggs.  Due to this they cannot be breed in captivity.

Interesting facts about hermit crabs 


 Hermit crabs drink by dipping their claws in water then lifting out drops of water to their gills and mouth.
 On average we hear of hermit crabs living for a couple years as pets, however have heard of some that have been kept for over 20 years in captivity. 
 Hermit crabs love to climb.  It is always a good idea to have a cage they can climb up or some other climbing material in their cage.
 Hermit crabs are nocturnal.  They move around a lot more at night then during the day


 Hermit crabs have been heard making croaking sounds.  It is still being studied to try to find out if this is a means of communication or what the croaking might mean

WHAT DO BUFFALO EAT?

There are three types: American bison, European bison, and Water buffalo (of two types). Each has its own diet. As Christopher Stanton notes, American buffalo/bison eat prairie grass in the wild. When farmed, they eat whatever the rancher is growing, including the same hay and fodder used for other cattle.

 HOW MANY YEARS DO BUFFALO ALIVE FOR

Bison have a life expectancy around 15 years in the wild and up to 25 years in captivity. For the first two months of life, calves are lighter in color than mature bison. One very rare condition is the white buffalo, in which the calf turns entirely white.

BISON BUFFALO

Despite roaming vast distances in the Northern Great Plains, bison do not move south as the weather grows cold and inhospitable, though they may move to lower elevations where snow is not so deep. Temperatures plummet well below zero, bitter winds whip across the landscape, and bison still remain. The massive animals (weigh up to 2,000 pounds and can hit speeds of 40 miles per hour) feed on grasses and sedges year-round. When blizzards blanket the plains with deep snow, bison use their heads as a plow of sorts to push aside the accumulation and reach the forage below.  
WATER BUFFALO

The water buffalo or domestic Asian water buffalo is a large bovid originating in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and China. Today, it is also found in Europe, Australia, and some American countries.










AFRICAN BUFFALO

The African buffalo or Cape buffalo (Syncerus caffer) is a large African bovine.[2] It is not closely related to the slightly larger wild water buffalo of Asia and its ancestry remains unclear. Syncerus caffer caffer, the Cape buffalo, is the typical subspecies, and the largest one, found in South and East Africa. S. c. nanus (African forest buffalo) is the smallest subspecies, common in forest areas of Central and West Africa while S. c. brachyceros is in West Africa and S. c. aequinoctialis is in the savannas of Central Africa. The adult buffalo's horns are its characteristic feature; they have fused bases, forming a continuous bone shield referred to as a "boss". It is widely regarded as a very dangerous animal, as it gores and kills over 200 people every year.
