I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

The Ushi-Oni is a monster from Japanese folklore. It usually has the head of a cow or bull. One of the most famous of the Ushi-Oni is a massive sea creature that resides off the coast of Shimane Prefecture! It has that bull head, but the body of a massive crab or spider crab, and it attacks fishermen for funsies.

Giant crabs exist in other mythologies, too! Greek mythology has Karkinos (or Carcinus or Cancer), a giant crab that came to the aid of the hydra as it battled Heracles. Heikeigani crabs in Japan are said to bear the souls of fallen samurai. Tihtipihin is the Native American god and father of all hermit crabs. Tambanokano is a giant crab of Mandayan folklore, and he's said to be the child of the sun and moon; when he leaves his hole in the sea, the tides go low, and when he returns to his hole, the tides rise.

Neat!

They say the crabs evolved this way, but perhaps samurai masks did instead

I'm not thinking of anything!

lol i love this video. i love the accent because even beyond the way he's dressed and the fact that he's missing a tooth or two you can just tell he's gonna do something kind of dumb and kind of rad, and sure enough he sticks his whole body in that crab hole and yanks out a crab that would probably break his finger if it got hold of him

and the camera man is "waaaa mate GOOD JOB"

do you eat those kinds of crabs or do you just catch them for fun?

I think it takes a special kind of courage to dive headfirst into a hole that has a massive angry crab.

Need more crab in my life. You all probably do too... Here is Jojo trusting me(can't remember if I posted this or not)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DeQcVGtC6Q

Also, Jojo used to fit into shells no bigger than a ping pong ball, but now he's a big boy and still growing. And with that, his tank is too small for exercise or enrichment, so I've been letting him roam around the room, since hermit crabs normally roam freely easily up to hundreds of feet. I can't always be around to supervise, so I finally got him a little exercise machine.

So is that actually something you bought? They sell hermit crab treadmills somewhere?
? And there's no risk he won't crawl on it until dangerous exhaustion?

It’s literally a hamster wheel from Petsmart. I got the idea from when he likes to endlessly walk on my hands as I overlap them, and also from a few sporadic anecdotes from other crab owners. He climbs into and out of it on his own free will, so when he gets tired or bored, he just gets off of it.
