Sally Lightfoot Crabs are one of the few Galapagos animals that will run away from the visitor, they live typically along the shore line and get their name from their ability to apparently walk on water as they scurry quickly across the rocks. Like many crabs they live on a varied diet of small animals that they catch and carrion that they scavenge.
