It is white because it\u2019s an albino animal.<\/p>\n<p>and it has a great sense of hearing but a battered sight. It is also defined as the blind jameos crab.<\/p>\n<p>On both sides of the head it has two spines and a little flattened tweezers. These are larger in males than in females. According to the quantity of food available, it can move to find it or just staying \u00a0close.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Which is the difference with the other crabs? <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s very small and albine and also its habitat is totally different.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the similar crabs live in Canary Islands to a big depth, while the Jame\u00edto lives \u00a0in the Jameos del Agua. It has been formed by the big eruption of\u00a0 Volcano Corona \u00a021.000 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The<a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tubo_volc%C3%A1nico_de_La_Corona\"> volcanic tube Corona<\/a> is composed by a series of underground caves, connected to the ocean. It filters into them creating a rich ecosystem with a unique fauna with fascinating crustaceans.<\/p>\n<p>They have been able to adapt during the years to the unic surroundings. The Jameito, even if it is blind, has survided also to the tourism.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Endengered Jameito <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Many expert zoologists tried to protect this peculiar small animal, since when it has been discovered.<\/p>\n<p>With the opening to the tourism of Los Jameos del Agua, the number of blind crabs was drastically reduced. Humans put in danger their habitat, and visitors were recently banned from throwing coins into the lagoon, as they were polluting and killing their fauna.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily nowadays, life conditions of the Jameito are strictly controlled and the protection of its surroundings is a priority for the canarian institutions.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Discover the Jame\u00edto with Lastminute Transfer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you like animals and you are passionate of different species, as \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lastminute-transfer.com\/lastminute-tour.asp\">Lastminute Transfer<\/a> we recommend our excursion by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lastminute-transfer.com\/excursions-booking.asp\">Jameos del Agua<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Discover one of the most emblematic place of the island that you cannot miss.
