Who knew

That there are crawfish in Central Park?

I was walking along the Harlem Meer this morning, minding my own business, when I saw a little critter meander across my path. I looked down, and saw something that looked a lot like this:


I did a double-take! I stopped and stared at him, and he stopped and stared at me. He waved his claws around menacingly like some wee crustacean ninja. "Calm down, buddy," I thought, "I don't want to eat you!" I smiled to myself and shook my head in disbelief, and we both went on our merry little way.

The few times I've had the chance to run in Central Park, I've always come away from the experience impressed; however, I don't know what I'd do if I ran across shell fish.
