New Feature Attraction - Claws!

Crabs and their many clawed cousins are like marvellous machines - the armoured division of the marine world. Here, in superbly-lit displays, you'll see in vivid and spectacular close-up the wonderful construction of these powerful predators. Claws will really grab you!
You will see a variety of crustaceans that have never been on show at Scarborough before including a Tasmanian King Crab that can weigh up to thirty pounds - the second largest species in terms of body mass in the world - only the Japanese King Crab is bigger!
Be the first to see the new exhibition this February half term...
