It is the couples first official visit to the country. Prince William’s mother, Princess Diana, died in Paris 20 years ago. William and Kate attended a reception at the British embassy celebrating the ties between France and the UK. On Saturday, the Royals will meet two survivors of the Paris attacks. Mar 18, 2017

Watch cute banana fiddler crab try to attract a mate by drumming and waving

Banana fiddler crabs put on a delightful display to attract females, waving one big claw and drumming on the ground. Researchers studying fiddler crabs say this helps show potential mates how strong they are and the size of their home – the better the drumming, the bigger the burrow.In a study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers note that the male banana fiddler crab (Uca mjoebergi) is “well known” for its repetitive claw-waving during courtship. But in addition – and when the female approaches – they switch from waving to rapidly rubbing their claw together to create a ‘drumming’ vibrational signal. Mar 15, 2017
