crabeater
Krill-eating Antarctic seal
A crabeater is a crabeater seal, an Antarctic species that despite its name feeds primarily on krill rather than crabs.
They are among the most abundant seals in the world, thriving in pack ice environments.
The term also applies to various animals that actually do eat crabs, including certain birds and fish.
