Crab Racing: Popular Bar Activity in Sydney Hermit crabs sit in an aquarium before the start of a crab race at a pub called the Friend in Hand in Sydney, Australia, Aug. 21, 2013. Crab Racing is held every night at several pubs across Sydney, with up to 30 crabs placed in the center of a table and then released to see which one reaches the edge of the table first and declared the winner. Betters typically win prizes like t-shirts or beer. Daniel Munoz/Reuters
