In Hinduism, Ardhanarishvara is the “Half-female Lord,” essentially Shiva in an androgynous form. Well fisherman pulled out a very rare gender-confused crab, or a “bilateral gynandromorph,” from the lower Chesapeake Bay, the Post reports. (Well, it’s almost like Ardhanarishvara, except for the crab’s male section was on the left and female section on the right. The Hindu deity’s gender orientation is swapped.)

While this could be just a random fluke (we’re by no means an expert on crustacean science, unless you’re talking about methodology of eating them), we’d like to note the other gender-confused animal story that’s come up in the past year: the West Virginia-spawned androgynous bass found in the upper Potomac. Scientists have said the gender fusion in the bass may be tied to sewage plants, feedlots and factories upriver.

Who’s up for a fish or crab feast? We shiver at the thought of the odd bottom dwellers in the Anacostia River.
