Field guide No. 315
Padlock shelled hermit crab

A hermit crab on a wet beach wears a brass padlock as its shell, the key trailing behind it on a chain. Security-conscious, a bit heavy.
Field noteA crab will live in anything hollow that fits. A padlock is hollow enough, if heavy.
Also possible, also breaking nothing

Please remain seatedCacti sit in pots on chairs all the time. Waiting rooms just rarely admit it.
