FIL: Isang uri ng alimango na karaniwang naninirahan sa lupa malapit sa mga dalampasigan o latian.
EN: land crab
The land-based cousin of the alimango. You see these guys scuttling around beaches or mangroves, looking like they're late for a very important meeting. They're a bit shy and will bolt into their burrows if you get too close. Sometimes they end up in ginataan, which is a delicious but tragic end to their story.
Refers to a specific type of crab that lives on land, not to be confused with its fully aquatic relatives.
