Halloween crab rescued at airport is now on display at zoo: 'Charming crustacean'
A spooky creature left behind at a Colorado airport is now on display at the Denver Zoo.
Staff at the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance shared the news on Facebook of a successful rescue of a Halloween crab, along with photos.
“Also known as a moon crab, this colorful little stowaway hitched a ride from Costa Rica and was discovered in the main cabin of a flight when it landed at Denver International Airport,” the post said.

The creatures have black, orange and red hues, with some people saying the crabs resemble a Jack-o’- lantern.
Halloween crabs are generally found in Central and South America, according to the Critter Squad.

A zoo representative told Fox News Digital via email that “this rescue is one of many that Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance takes part in.”
The representative added, “We work closely with local, state and federal officials and agencies to provide a good home for animals that have been injured, confiscated, orphaned or would be unable to survive in the wild.”
The crabs are typically two to three inches in size.
They can live for up to 10 years, according to the Critter Squad.

“To lean into the Halloween spirit, you can catch this crab in our Animal Ambassador demonstrations at the Gates Amphitheatre all month long,” said the zoo’s post.
The post also noted, “After October, it will scuttle over to its permanent home in Tropical Discovery, where you can continue to learn about this charming crustacean.”

School: New Mexico

STATS
Damon Bankston was an unranked running back recruit from Katy Paetow in Katy, Texas, who enrolled at Weber State, an FCS school in Ogden, Utah.
Bankston would stay at Weber State from 2021 to 2024 before transferring to New Mexico for his final season of college football in 2025.
As a redshirt senior, Bankston would rack up 635 rushing yards, 397 receiving yards, and 8 scrimmage touchdowns, as well as another 434 kick return yards and two touchdowns on just 12 returns.
Strengths
- Explosive athlete with elite acceleration
- Soft, natural hands as a pass-catcher out of the backfield
- Solid vision when operating in zone run schemes
- Usually a patient runner before accelerating through gaps
- Plays very quick as a runner with a bit of a choppy style
- Eliminates tackle angles with acceleration
- Can make defenders miss in space with a solid juke move
- Kick return specialist with two return touchdowns in 2025
- Willing as a pass protector in the backfield
Weaknesses
- Likely won’t be able to survive through contact often against NFL-caliber defenders
- Questionable ability to run between the tackles at the next level
- Not necessarily a weakness but only one year of FBS film, not sure how he’ll adapt to NFL game speed
- Questionable size to succeed in pass protection
- Ball security was an issue for him in 2025, including two fumbles in one game against Colorado State
- Play strength is a concern with contact balance, ball security, pass protection, and the ability to be an all-around back
Summary
Bankston will at best be a change-of-pace back in the NFL who never handles a significant workload.
Carving out a role as a return specialist should be the goal for Bankston to make the roster in 2026, which will also be a tall task for him to solidify with Deonte Banks back for the Giants in 2026.
Bankston, who at this point is probably more of a practice squad candidate, can definitely provide some juice on special teams as a kickoff returner. In college he averaged 36.2 yards per return and had two returns for touchdown, showing some explosiveness.
The step up in competition from the FCS to FBS for Bankston caused him to be less consistent with creating yards after contact and making defenders miss.
It’s fair to estimate that with another step up in competition, Bankston could once again see a decrease in that ability to create.
