Why go directly at a target when you can skitter around and attack from the side?

The YETI CRAB is in desperate need of a shave.

For real though this is why Pick threads owned when they were about random animals instead of how she scared a crippled man under a truck by desperately wanting to have sex with him.

Animal threads own good job OP.

Also I tried to find a picture of a gigantic battle crab or something similar because hell yeah but I came up pretty much empty. The scifi world is apparently too hung up on spider stuff to think of the humble crab.

Nah. They're cool, tough as hell, and delicious. Like look at that crab gif on the first page. That dude ripped his own arm off and was just like "I DON'T GIVE A gently caress, SCREW THIS GAY rear end ARM" and at the same time he's also prolly delicious to eat.

E: This crab:


We should all aspire to be as badass as this crab.

The entire global ecosystem would collapse and everything would die. Including almost all herbivores since most of the key pollinators for plants fall in that group of 4+ legged creatures!

My thoughts exactly. Combative little scavengers. The most human of a sealife. (Octupus are badly overrated, smart does not equal human, being an angry dick is to be human)

Further example, in tanks crabs will fight to the death if they do not have 1squre foot of space to themselves. Unless, that is, you pack them in to a high density where nobody has any space at all, then they can get along fine. Crabs even have that rural vs. urban divide where putting them in the suburbs drives them mad and they get arrested for jealously loving up someones lawn/seaweed.

Troof. Even in my tank, one crab had been checking out a shell for a while and was prepared to move into it, then a slightly larger crab came by, shoved him out of the way, checked out the shell, and moved in. You could feel the passive aggressive fury boiling over in the smaller crab as it helplessly watched this all take place.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
You can buy plush crab souvenirs at either of Maryland's really quite nice rest stops.
