Triops are amazing!! They're more shrimp than crab, but they're ancient. Mine would come up to the surface of the tank and scuttle around on my hand on their own accord. Super blessed.

Mine just seemed so goddamned happy when digging. So all the time, happy.

I think I posted that crab eating a potato chip in the cute thread. He washes his eyes before he eats, like all polite crabs.

I went to this guy’s channel and it is videos of his pet crab eating random foods intermixed with videos of the human using hands exercisers and cracking walnuts with his bare hands. I this the human talking the videos wishes to be more crab-like.

I went on a canoe trip a couple of decades ago and drank far too much peach snapps. We went through one area with a little tiny creek offshoot. I was the only one who wandered to this little offshoot, so maybe I went there specifically to puke up all of the snapps I had drank... drunk?

Anyway, I remember sitting there after puking, and suddenly all these tiny crawdads appeared. I guess they also like peach snapps. I’m sure crabs would have joined the party had any been in residence.

Right? I was thinking,” why would to keep that tiny monster in your boat after that injury?”
Like, what if it managed to get into position to do that damage to his balls next?

I think most people don’t think,” what else can go wrong?” Immediately after bad things happen and act accordingly to avoid them, though.

Any beach in the Carolinas.

From a memory of a family vacation that was at a resort beach, I think, around there, bringing a small child who thinks fiddler crabs are the cutest/coolest loving things ever and that it’s neat you can tell which are males and which are females by how many big claws they have is also acceptable. They feed on creepy tiny human joy. (I figure all wild animals think I’m creepy cause I quietly watch them when given a chance, often with a bland smile on my face.)

This has some interesting facts, but someone said,” he’s bitten me 3 times,” which is factually incorrect. He should have said “he’s snip-snipped me 3 times.” I thought it was the biologist that misspoke, but maybe it was the host. If the host said it, than I suppose I can let the snip-snop snafu, or snopfu, slide snip.

I was ecstatic for about 3 seconds when I thought it was a video of a crab eating some gabagool.

Even past ignoring the food it was climbing over, I was ok with it, cause I thought it had escaped the pot and would fall off the table into the Oceon or something. Like, the table was on a dockside restaurant or something.
I’m just going to pretend that was just a crab jacuzzi it walked into. Those were not boiling bubbles, they were bubbles created by water jets.

How does japan have so many animals that have human faces?!

okay this is only the second I can think off of the top of my head. The first being the toad I saw wandering around a rock garden by the dormitory when I was there one summer. God that was weird as gently caress.

But that crab does clearly have an angry human face.

Edit: holy crab! Those crabs had human guided evolution!


https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/how-japan-accidentally-evolved-a-species-of-crab-with-samurai-faces-5f88a2ac863b


quote:

Naturally — the area came to be thought of as haunted to the local fisherman. As such — whenever they caught any crabs in the area they would carefully inspect them for any resemblance to a human face.
If any were found— they thought these to be the reincarnation of the fallen Taira from years ago and threw them back into the water.
Over the centuries, this meant that only those crabs that somewhat resembled human faces survived to procreate whereas those that didn’t were taken home to be eaten or sold.

This reminds me of a little story I think of sometimes, maybe from this thread or elsewhere on SA or maybe some imagining. It's about a couple walking on a beach who pick up a crab, they put it down and it runs away and it just keeps accelerating in a straight line past the horizon. Is that real or have I got crab madness?
