By John Paul Stapleton Globe Correspondent  April 12, 2016 Scientists at Cape Cod’s Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution discovered what they’ve called a “cloud” off the coast of Panama at the Hannibal Bank Seamount. But, as their website reports, this so-called cloud was made up entirely of crabs.

“At first, we thought they were biogenic rocks or structures,” Jesús Pineda, who led the expedition, told the Guardian. “Once we saw them moving — swarming like insects — we couldn’t believe it.”
