California fiddler crab females might be the choosiest mates in the world, according to an article in the journal Animal Behaviour. The average female fiddler will inspect about 23 potential suitors and their bachelor pads before selecting a lucky winner. One especially hard-to-please female studied by Catherine deRivera of the University of California visited 106 male burrows, fully entering 15 of them, during her one hour and six minute search. Male fiddler attract females by standing in front of their burrows and waving their enlarged claws in a "come here" motion. Ms. deRivera found that the largest females were the least picky, primarily because they could not fit into most of the burrows they visited.
