Tribute to Deadliest Catch - Alaskan King Crab coloring page

 

Today on my free coloring pages blog, I am posting a drawing

or a coloring page of an Alaskan King Crab.

This is my tribute to what is one of my favorite shows...

Deadliest Catch!

Alaskan King Crab on the Beach

The show Deadliest Catch is about fishermen and fisherwomen fishing for crab in the Bering Sea up near Alaska. I find it an amazing show. They are on a rolling deck dropping and retrieving crap pots that weigh hundreds of pounds. The "pots" are actually cages. Crabs detect the bait and crawl into the cages, and can't get out. 

The crew has to retrieve the pot from hundreds of feet below what is often a rough sea. Finding where the crabs are is not always easy. In fact, it is very hard. The fishermen fish for several different species of crab, but not at the same time. Meaning that there is a King Crab season and an Ophilio Crab season, etc. 

The personal relationships and the personalities are what really drive the show. I find them fascinating and entertaining as well. Season 22 started a few weeks ago, and episode 3 is on this Friday, May 22, 2026. 

In this drawing, the crab is walking on a beach. Cold-climate plants and some other marine animals are also seen on the sand. See if you can spot them: A clam, a piece of driftwood, a large pinecone, a branch off of a pine tree, a serrated leaf, a starfish, and a piece of kelp that washed ashore.

There are over 100 species of starfish in the Bering Sea. The beaches of Alaska frequently have kelp washed ashore. Know that kelp is not a plant, it is plant-like... but it is in Kingdom: Protista. Shore pines live near the shore, but I have to admit that their pinecones are way smaller than the pinecone in my drawing.

This coloring page I drew will be there at or near the bottom of the list IF you are accessing this blog during May or June 2026. If you are accessing this site later, then the drawing's title will still be there, somewhat towards the bottom of the list of animal coloring pages.
