Disturbing photographs of a hermit crab using a discarded tin can as a shell illustrate the devastating impact humans are having on the planet.  To protect their soft bodies, hermit crabs regularly upgrade their shells throughout their lifetime.<br /> <br /> However, these pictures show the crustaceans are increasingly resorting to discarded rubbish rather than actual shells.
