The Atacama Giant (Spanish: Gigante de Atacama) is an anthropomorphic geoglyph on Cerro Unitas in the Atacama Desert, Chile. It is the largest prehistoric anthropomorphic figure in the world with a length of 119 metres (390 ft), and represented a deity for the local inhabitants from AD 1000 to 1400.Atacama Giant, vectorized drawingThe figure was an early astronomical calendar for knowing where the moon would set; by knowing this the day, crop cycle, and season could be determined. The points on the top and side of the head would say what season it would be depending on their alignment with the moon, which was important in determining when the rainy season would come in the barren Atacama.The Atacama Giant is one out of nearly 5,000 geoglyphs - ancient artwork that is drawn into the landscape - that have been discovered in the Atacama in the last three decades. It is believed that they are the work of several successive cultures that dwelt in this region of South America, including the Tiwanaku and Inca.
Hermit crabs are temporary tenants of their mobile homes—just like we need new clothes as we grow, hermit crabs too must search for a new shell as they outgrow their old one. But shellecting their new digs can be tricky business—it can’t be too big or too small, too heavy or too damaged, and of course, it can’t be already occupied by another hermit crab, or worse, its original gastropod designer!
After a quick inspection, move-in is a snap. (After all, a naked hermit crab is a hermit crab snack to potential predators…) They’ll line their shells up, wiggle out of the old, and settle into the new in seconds, leaving the old shell behind for the next hermit crab looking for an upgrade.
If you’re looking for these couture crustaceans along the shore, remember to practice tidepool etiquette—no shellfish behavior allowed! Please leave those empty shells undisturbed for potential hermit homes. 🌊🐚
