1
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to Creature feature production of I Heart Radio. I'm

2
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: your host of Many Parasites, Katie Golden. I studied psychology

3
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: and evolutionary biology and Happy Creature. We everybody on this

4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: first episode of our two episodes spook Tacular, we must

5
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: flee from a kiteness terror at tin like a devilish decapod,

6
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: a creepy crustacean crawling closer and closer. It's attack of

7
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: the killer crabs. But first a little story. Imagine you

8
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: look up at the sky. It's a full moon. Wait, no,

9
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: it's not, it's a waxing crescent. Oh no. You start

10
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: to sweat. You feel your body transforming. Your spine crumples

11
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: painfully as your arms break from your collar bones stretch

12
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: and bending in front of you. As your knees snap

13
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: and bend your legs forward, another set of arms sprout

14
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: in front of your face, each with a set of

15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: powerful claws, and you feel yet another pair of legs

16
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: pop out of your sides. Your skeleton breaks through your skin,

17
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: wrapping around your soft insides until you are covered in

18
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 1: a hard, unyielding carapace. Frightened, you try to run and

19
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: find the quickest ways to scuttle sideways. You have become

20
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: who where crab? Joining me today is small beans, teammates, podcasters,

21
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: crabs and friends of the pod and friends to crabs,

22
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: Ave Everson and Bridget Greenberg. Hey, hey, hey, I reject

23
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: being a friend to crabs. But other than that, that's

24
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: that's me. I think you nailed it, Katie. Yeah, I

25
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: was teleportedly teleported honestly, that's my new guided meditation. We

26
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: are become crabs. I bring up this story of becoming

27
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: a crab not just for the pure thrill of it,

28
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: but because, guys, it's happening. It's happening all over everything

29
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: is becoming crabs. And this is actually called carsonization. And

30
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: this is the habit of evolution to keep making crabs

31
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. Just like so just

32
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: you're you're talking, there's a term for when nature is

33
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: just banging out crabs left and right. Yes, this happens

34
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: so frequently it has a term carsonization. So that's just

35
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: it's like, the evolution default is crabs. Evolution evolution loves

36
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: a crab. It loves a crab. Crab is the best

37
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: form apparently. So let me say this. There are many

38
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: species of crab. It they all have a common ancestor

39
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 1: and belong to the infraorder brac Eura, which so that's

40
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: pretty normal, right, Like you have a bunch of species

41
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: of like mice, you have a bunch of species of butterfly.

42
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: This is not what I'm talking about. There are many

43
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: species of crab, but there are separate species of crustaceans

44
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: that keep turning into crabs even though they are not

45
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,399
Speaker 1: evolved from crabs. So oh wait, that's so like down

46
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: the like genus lime of different species, it just all

47
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: like goes back to crab. Is that I took biology?

48
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: Is that convergent or is that divergent? Convergent evolution? You

49
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: are correct, divergent? Is that really good youth adult novel

50
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Young Adults where the special girl gets to do the

51
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: special things? But no, yes, convergent evolution of crabs from crustaceans.

52
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: So crustaceans is a whole tax on of animals, scott

53
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: lobsters in it, hermit crabs, crayfish, there's a whole bunch

54
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: of crustaceans. But crustaceans keep reinventing the crab over and

55
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: over again. They're independently evolved crabs, and this has happened

56
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 1: at least five times, probably more, but we've documented it

57
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 1: happening at least five times. So these crabs look exactly

58
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: like a crab. They behave very much like a crab.

59
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes they even have reproductive systems that are extremely crab like.

60
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: But they are actually more closely related to a non

61
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: crab ancestor than they are too true crabs, so they're

62
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: technically not crabs, even though evolution is like, ah, let's

63
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: make you a crab again. Though, wow, that is that

64
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: is that is And also now that the end of

65
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: the time machine makes more sense. When I when everything

66
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: was crabs at the end, now I get it. Everything

67
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: is crabs. I mean, to be fair, we're mostly talking

68
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: about crustaceans turning into crabs, so it's a long shot

69
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: from humans turning into crabs, although I will not rule

70
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: out I want pulling it out. Well, you know, a

71
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: crescent moon comes out, you got a crab, baby, That's

72
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 1: that's what we call the pincer moon. So examples of

73
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: this happening is, first of all, king crabs a crab,

74
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: were all very well accustomed to It's a crab that

75
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: we love to eat. It's those big spiky, reddish, orangeish brown,

76
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: long legged crabs that you know, you go to the story,

77
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: you see a bunch of crab legs, these big old,

78
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: juicy crab legs. That's probably a king crab. And they

79
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: actually are not really crabs. They just, you know, they're

80
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: just going towards the crabs singularity because they actually evolved

81
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: from hermit crabs, which are not crabs. They are not crabs.

82
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: They are not crabs. Hermit crabs are not a crab.

83
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: They are called See naming of animals is all messed up.

84
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: We'll call things that aren't things the things that they aren't.

85
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: But you know, hermit crabs are a crustacean, just not

86
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: technically a crab. But yeah, they just look like crabs.

87
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: It's just they look like crabs. It's one of those

88
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,799
Speaker 1: things where I mean, it's kind of a funny distinction,

89
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: right because like you have these crustaceans that are closely

90
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: related to crabs, and then you have a lineage of

91
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: them that all have a common ancestor, and we call

92
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: those true crabs. Those are actual crabs. But then you

93
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: have hermit crabs, which are related to crabs but are

94
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: not crabs then independently evolved into crabs again, and we say, like,

95
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: that's not that's not a real crab, even though it's

96
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: basically exactly like a crab, because it's independently evolved. So

97
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: it's one of those like kind of picky uh taxonomy things.

98
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: It's like crab supremacy, Toko, the one true crab, the

99
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: one true crabb. Ten minutes in the word crab already

100
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: sounds weird to me now that there's name for that.

101
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: When yeah, crab crab, Yeah, no, it's done. Yeah, the

102
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: meaning has divorced itself from the word already. So it's

103
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: called semantic satiation. When you're like activating the neural pathway

104
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: of that word so much, your brain just starts to

105
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: feel weird about it. So smart, Katie, Yeah, that's how

106
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: Stanley Kubrick directs. He like tried to divorce, like he

107
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: made actors do take so many times that it was

108
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: so mean. He was awful. He was a crab. I

109
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: think it was stan crab crab Brick, crab brick, Stanley

110
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: crab Brick. Yeah, he certainly was crabby. Okay, podcast over,

111
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: we lost everyone down. We've done it. We've ended the

112
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: podcast now. So. Another example of one of these not

113
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: exactly a crab even though it looks exactly like a

114
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: crab is the porcelain crabs, which is a group of

115
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: medium sized crabs, and they're actually quite pretty. They can

116
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: have really nice body patterns. The spotted porcelain crab I

117
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: think is particularly pretty. It kind of looks like it

118
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: has a halftone print on their shell. It's kind of

119
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: rose rusty, reddish color. It's very pretty. But they are

120
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: not real crabs. They evolved from squat lobsters, which squatter

121
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: scat lobsters. Squat lobsters. Also, I'm so sorry, guys, but

122
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: squat lobsters aren't even lobsters. This is how squat lobsters

123
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: are crustaceans that look a bit like flat, weird little lobsters,

124
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: but they're technically not lobsters, even though they're sort of

125
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: related to lobsters. But they're actually more closely related to

126
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: crabs than they are to lobsters. But they are not crabs.

127
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: But then they evolved into another crab even though it's

128
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: technically not a crab, even though it looks exactly like

129
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: a crab. Does this make any sense at all? It does.

130
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: My question is, so, what what makes what traits make

131
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: a true crab? Pure? True? A true crab is just

132
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: you are in this evolutionary lineage where you have the

133
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: common ancestor of all crabs. So there's no like specific

134
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: trait where you're like, that's a crap, that's not a crab,

135
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: because they all look like crabs to me. Right exactly,

136
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: it does get a little bit gray area of crabs

137
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: where you know, the sort of I decide movement, the

138
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: big pincers and claws situated in front of the face

139
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: and the legs sprawled out to the side in a

140
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: vaguely sort of a squat triangular body. I think that

141
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: all is sort of characteristic of a crab, even though

142
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: it's not. That is not the definition of a right,

143
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: but you know it is again, it's sort of it's

144
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: convergent evolution of like crab form. So these these animals

145
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm describing, like the the King crab and the Porcelain crab,

146
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: they look exactly like a crab. You would you wouldn't

147
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: pick this thing up and be like, oh, it's almost

148
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: like a crab. No, it's like, exactly, a crab's just

149
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: little leggy rocks. Yeah. The other one is the hairy

150
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: stone crab, which are small crabs that can fit in

151
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: your palm. I think they're kind of cute. They look

152
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: like little rocks, and they kind of have these furry

153
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: little filaments all over their body. And they may have

154
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 1: either of all from hermit crabs or like another freshwater crustacean.

155
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: We're not sure where they come from. To be honest, Aliens,

156
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 1: they are very cute. They are little palm sized crabs.

157
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: They're fuzzy. Another group of crabs that are technically not crabs,

158
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: even though they look very much like crabs or coconut crabs,

159
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: which we're actually going to discuss in detail later. They

160
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: are horrifying terrestrial crabs and they actually also evolved from

161
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: hermit crabs. Very interesting, interesting crab like animals, very scary.

162
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: And then, of course the other group of crabs that

163
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: have evolved to look like crabs are the group of

164
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: true crabs. Like so there you have five. You have

165
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: the King crab, you have the porcelain crab, the Harry

166
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: Stone crab, the coconut crabs, and then the true crabs,

167
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: the real the o G crabs, Harry Stone That's all

168
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: I can think of. Now, were they a crab? No,

169
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: they were a very as you would expect if you

170
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: pictured a man name Harry Stone. Was a very like

171
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: religious Jewish man. Right, Um was crabby? I mean he

172
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: didn't leave candy out on Halloween. Yeah, well I've canceled.

173
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: I've canceled the podcast twice with that pun. I don't

174
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: know how I did it. I brought the podcast back

175
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: from the dead to make the crabby pun again, killing

176
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: it twice, you know. I mean, it's gonna it's gonna

177
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: come up and you can't leave it on the table.

178
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: He can't. He can't. I'd get I feel like, I

179
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: don't know how if I'd get more complaints from not

180
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: using the crabby pun or complaints for using it. So

181
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with what my heart tells me. And

182
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: it's too um hurt people by using the crabby puny

183
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: live your best life, man? You do you? Actually? This

184
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: whole episode is inspired by a tweet which I love.

185
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 1: Someone found out about carsonization. This is from Amys Pumpkins,

186
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: which I think is just the spooky Halloween name at

187
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: Cablenet Jumper, who writes crustaceans have evolved into the shape

188
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: of a crab at least five independent times. I do

189
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: not like this, and so that's kind of a viral tweet.

190
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: But in response to that, at Charlotte magnum p I writes,

191
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: the arc of the universe is long, but it bends

192
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: towards crab. I like crabs. I like I like everything

193
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: about crabs. Bridget you don't like crabs, you're mentioning, right, Yes,

194
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: I've had several uh crab encounters, and none of them

195
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: are positive. I don't know how many times you've interacted

196
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: with crabs. But it's not it's not it's not great.

197
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 1: One I lost a friend's hermit crab, which is not

198
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: a crab, so I no longer feel bad about it.

199
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: If you asked me to babysit them, I don't know why.

200
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: It's probably become a cryptod like gotten huge and become

201
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: a cryptod. Oh, it still lives in that house, for sure.

202
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: But there were there were crabs everywhere growing up in Florida.

203
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: They just are around and there truly there was one.

204
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: I think I've talked about this at Nauseam, but there is.

205
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: There was one that lived by my locker in high school.

206
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: This was a terrestrial crab, which I want to mention

207
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: to the listeners. Yes, land crabs exist. Crabs can be

208
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: on land. There are a number of terrestrial crab species

209
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: in Florida. Some king quite large. Yeah, they're they're big.

210
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: They're big old crabs. And there was one and he

211
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: lived by my locker and anytime I would have to

212
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: like get my book super quickly because he was very territorial.

213
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm gendering this crab, but he was mean to me.

214
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Anytime it saw me, it would like run at me

215
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: in the awkward tiny crab way with its pinchers up

216
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: and try to get me, uh not cute. It bullied me.

217
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: And then there are if you like walk on grass

218
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: in Florida, they're often um just like crab holes, like

219
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: yeah they dig burrows. Yeah, they dig burrows. So especially

220
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: if you have tiny child feet like I had, uh

221
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: when I was a tiny child, you would trip into these,

222
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: uh crab holes and in Florida were wearing flip flops

223
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: and they would just go for your toes. Yeah, give

224
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: you a pinch. I mean, imagine if someone shoved their

225
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: foot in your house. Yeah, but you know my house

226
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: isn't I picked up from my house as in a

227
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: trap for tiny child feet, you know. Also, I mean

228
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: on the Halloween theme. I remember very specifically one of

229
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: these times I tripped into a crab hole. It was

230
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: Halloween and I was tripping into a crab hole. You

231
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: know you're talking about actual crabs. Sorry, go ahead, Yes,

232
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: And I was dressed as SpongeBob and the crab bit me.

233
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: I was dressed as SpongeBob, and the irony was too

234
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: strong and I don't like it, and it was very

235
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: embarrassing and it was very painful. Bridget was bullied by

236
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: crabs growing up. That's um, they followed me. Yeah, that's

237
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: pretty rough. I'm sad to hear that I grew up

238
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: in California. I've been in California my whole wife, and

239
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: so I didn't I don't have a lot of crab access,

240
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: you know, but I find my whole life. I found

241
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: very ugly things super cute, like I love spiders. I

242
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: want to smush those little faces. Crabs are very spider like.

243
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: I'll have to have you on an episode where I

244
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: gush about how much I love jumping spiders. I love

245
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: I love trapdoors. Spiders too cute, They're so cute. I

246
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: love the spider that fills in San Diego had the

247
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: one where it puts dirt on its face because it's

248
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 1: scared of the world. Total it's it's great energy. I

249
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: love spider energy. Speaking of spiders, While I don't think

250
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: that carsonization refers to this, I think it is interesting

251
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: because the crab like form happens outside of the taxon

252
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: of crustaceans in spiders. So some spiders have evolved into

253
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: a more crab like shape, which is very inventively called

254
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: crab spiders horrifying named because how their body layout is

255
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: similar to a crab, including their leg placement and how

256
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: they scuttle from side to side. Bridgets have in a moment, Yeah,

257
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know why that that deeply disturbed me,

258
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: and I don't. I was looking at this thing before

259
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: kind of and I was like, Oh, that's kind of

260
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: cool looking, and now now I don't like it. I

261
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: don't like it. It's jointed legs. There's too many joints

262
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: on the legs. I don't like. It's normal spider stuff.

263
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 1: It's just the arrangement of the legs is more crab like,

264
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: especially in terms of like the way that those those

265
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: front legs are kind of held out at its side

266
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: and in front. So it truly did bother me until

267
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: you begun describing it, and then I had a very

268
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: visceral reaction too. I hate this. Yeah, it's pretty, It

269
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: is very pretty. This is actually a flower crab spider

270
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: which mimics a white flower to lure prey into a

271
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: false sense of security. It's a little thing. It's very tiny,

272
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: about the size of like a thumbnail, maybe slightly bigger sometimes,

273
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: but it's just arranged. It's hard for me to explain exactly,

274
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: but it is arranged like a crab, but it is

275
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: a spider. It's like you took a crab mold and

276
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: put a spider in it and just like pressed it

277
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: in there and turned it into a crab. There. It

278
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: has the face of a pokemon. It looks like a

279
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: orchid to me. I mean, I understand why they call

280
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: it the lovely flower spider crab. It's just interesting because

281
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: again it's independently evolved these crab like features because probably

282
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: it's very useful for it to be able to quickly

283
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: escape predator is by scuttling from side to side while

284
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,959
Speaker 1: being able to kind of pick up its prey with

285
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 1: those those front legs mammals with our two bipedal movement,

286
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: or you know, with four legs, let's kick it up

287
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: a notch. Right, Well, you can just like start grabbing things,

288
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: that's true. That get a couple of those. Remember those

289
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: like dinosaur grabbers where you they were like on a

290
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: stick and then you'd like squeeze a button in the

291
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: little dinosaur grippy things would like grab things. Yeah, you

292
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: guys want to talking about Yeah, just get a couple

293
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: of those, and then crab walk around, yeah, every every night.

294
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: This is me, your man crab, And that's how the

295
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: evolutionary thing happens. The car I only said carcinogen, but

296
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: that's not right. It's carsonization. It's the reason you're confusing

297
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: it with carcinogen is cancer. The word for you know,

298
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: the disease is also the same root word for crab cancer,

299
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: which is why why is that we think of them

300
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: as a cancer upon the landscape, But fact I am

301
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: a cancer. So this whole thing comes all you mean,

302
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: like your zodiac not not that you're like being really

303
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: rude towards yourself. No, no, I'm not, uh yeah, doing

304
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: that Okay. It comes from the Greek word meaning crab,

305
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: which also means tumor. I wonder if it's because crabs

306
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: are lumpy. Yeah, maybe that's why etymologists and entomologists get

307
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: at me. Actually, intomologists doesn't really work because that's not

308
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: necessarily crabs ain't bugs. No, they ain't bugs. Crabs ain't bugs.

309
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: Crabs is not insects, even though they are both arthropods.

310
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: I think it's charming that, like well charming and alarming,

311
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: creep creepy, scary that these spiders are sort of like

312
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: becoming more crab. Another one is the green crab spider,

313
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: which is green shaped vaguely like a crab. And there

314
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: is a photo of one of these guys. So their

315
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: abdomens can have like brown and yellow and white and

316
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: red colorations on them, and sometimes there's like variation in coloration,

317
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: and this individual looks like it has a creepy clown face.

318
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: I haven't been able to find any other green crab

319
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: spiders with the same coloration, so this may just be

320
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: a special uh special little boy, little boy, or or

321
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: just like this is it? This isn't it? You know,

322
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: like how how it becomes like clown spiders, and this

323
00:21:52,160 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: is just that's true. That's pennywise becomes like a spider, right, yea, yeah,

324
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: this is sort of a tangent because this spider does

325
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: not look like a crab. But if you want a

326
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: spider that almost always has like a cool clown face

327
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: on it, it is the Hawaiian happy face spider. And

328
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: it's abdomen has this happy face on it with a

329
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: big smiling red mouth, too little dots for eyes, and

330
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: then it looks like little slightly concerned eyebrows. I find

331
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: it really cute. Like people are like, oh, it's creepy,

332
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 1: creepy clown. I think it's kind of cute. Yeah, that's

333
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: that's that's super cute. He kind of looks in fighting

334
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: and like ready to party. I kind of like it.

335
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean his face is actually on his real faces.

336
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: On the opposite end, it just looks like when you

337
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: look at it, he kind of looks like I'm run

338
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: at a party. Yeah, it looks like spider, right, And

339
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: the back legs, which are kind of bent backwards, look

340
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: like little arms kind of raising like raising the roof. Yeah,

341
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: that spider could get me to take shots with it.

342
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 1: I would take I think of how cute it would

343
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: be if you were to take the two middle two

344
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: legs on each side and just yank those right out

345
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: of there. Oh my god, what the hell? Yeah, it

346
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: would be like you psychopath they have They have got

347
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: like a little fans. It looks like a cartoon, like

348
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 1: a drawing that I would make as a kid, like

349
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: where you didn't really know how to draw bodies. So

350
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: it's just like, yeah, exactly, if you think it's cute

351
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: with all its legs, please leave them on. I'm not

352
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna rip off legs as spiders. Monster

353
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: real monster was Abe all along? Team crab, your team crab.

354
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: Getting back to crabs. One though, is you know why

355
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 1: pubic lice are called crabs. I was going to ask

356
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: this question, Yeah, pubic life. They are little tiny Arthur

357
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: pods that are you know? They are a big new

358
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: since they get in your hair and cause a lot

359
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: of itching and problems. They are shaped vaguely like a crab.

360
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a stretch to me, but

361
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: I see it. I see the crab shape of them,

362
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: and that's why they're called crabs because I would imagine

363
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: they look like lice, which do you like crabs. No,

364
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: they look pretty crab like. I was gonna google it

365
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: on my own, but then I got scared. You're very brave. Yeah,

366
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of it's kind of got a

367
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: little bit of the crab shape. Yeah, I see it.

368
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 1: I also don't like it because it looks like there's

369
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 1: hair coming out of it too. And yeah, it's got

370
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: bristles on it, which is always bristle. Bristles can be cute,

371
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: but they can also not be cute. I think it

372
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: depends on sort of the orientation and density of the bristles. Yeah,

373
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: you need a lot more for it to be cute.

374
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: I wish everybody could see the because like the face

375
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: part I assume of the crab. If it's just that

376
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: it looks like a guy, yeah, like extending his arms out.

377
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: He's like, what, it looks amazing. We'll include I'll include

378
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: a picture, a safer work picture in the show notes

379
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: of the Pubic Life. Yeah, the Pubic Life gotta involuntary

380
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: twitch for me. Elicit at that response. So I don't

381
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: like it. I think its name isn't doing it any

382
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: favors either. But anyways, the point of all this is

383
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: to say that nature loves a crab and loves a

384
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: crab shape, and keeps turning crustaceans and even some arthropods

385
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: into crab shapes. And it makes me wonder like, if

386
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: there's aliens out there, maybe they two would prefer the

387
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: ultimate form, the purest form, the best form, the crab form,

388
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: the yes the crab a verse verse. I mean, honestly,

389
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: having an exo skeleton makes more sense than being soft

390
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: on the outside. But I mean, there are a lot

391
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: of rustaceans that have a hard carapace. It's just that

392
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: they seem to keep going into that crab shape. They

393
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: love it. I mean, more legs equals faster, right again though,

394
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 1: like they have this. It's not that they grow more legs,

395
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: it's that the specific shape, this like sort of triangular

396
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: side stepper with the big claws in the front and

397
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: the legs split out to the sides like that is

398
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: they they love it. They love the crab shape, this

399
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: very specific crab shape. It's so weird because crabs move

400
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: so awkwardly and like like like clums It doesn't seem

401
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: like it's an easy way to move, right, They're not agile.

402
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: Well when you think about it though, so crabs can

403
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: move forward and backwards and diagonally, although not as easily

404
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: as they can move from side to side. But if

405
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: you think about it, like if they're evading predators that

406
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: move forwards and backwards mostly and the crabs just zip

407
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: off to the side. Aid, it's like they're they're playing

408
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: like for d chess. You know, they're like moving to

409
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: the side when you're moving front and back. They're a

410
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: different plane, right, I mean, it's like what you always

411
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: shout in horror movies when someone's like running away from

412
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: like a giant boulder or a giant like a tree

413
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: falling down, or an airplane or like a monster. It's

414
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: like they're always running in a straight line when it's

415
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: like no zig zag, like dart off to the side,

416
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: like that's a legit strategy. Yeah, they just it's a

417
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:34,679
Speaker 1: super awkward way of moving again again and it works.

418
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: Like again, like if you're Indiana Jones and giant boulder

419
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: is rolling towards you, like why running a straight line?

420
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: Run to the side, ding dong. That is true. And

421
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: we did learn in uh Florida public schools how do

422
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: you avoid gator attacks? And they don't have good peripheral vision,

423
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: so you are supposed to like get around trap off

424
00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: the way exactly, so you know many is this is

425
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: why I think that we should become crabs. Just putting

426
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: out there, we'll see well, by the end of this,

427
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: I think I'll convert you into crab people. Crab people. Yeah,

428
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: I've been bitten and I've been or pinched enough times

429
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: that you know I should have the DNA woman. Your

430
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: superpower is scuttling from side to side very fast and

431
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: being able to pick things up and put them in

432
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: your mouth with great ease. Yes, I do like yeah,

433
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: like that, And of course the pinching and the pinching

434
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: Carsonization isn't always skin deep. Crab like crustaceans that evolved

435
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: independently can share many things with crabs. Aside from looks

436
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: such as reproductive organ similarity and similarities and sexual dimorphism

437
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: that is, the defining differences between the males and the females,

438
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: there could even be similarities down to the circulatory in

439
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: neurological systems. If it crawls like a crab and like

440
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: a crab, it isn't in fact necessarily a true crab.

441
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: When we return, you may want to head for high

442
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: ground to escape these monsters. But that won't help you

443
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: escape our most horrifying len crabs. What are crabs covered

444
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: in kitan? Of course, an exoskeleton that protects and armors

445
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: their soft bodies. Imagine if our skeletons were on the outside.

446
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: Who spooky skeletons. So, now that we know that the

447
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: universe prefers a crab, let's talk about some some crabs,

448
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: some of the coolest crabs. Some of these are true crabs,

449
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: some of these are very crab like crustaceans. But first

450
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about terrestrial crabs. Your favorite fine bridget

451
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: can come on land and cuddle EO with their pian chers.

452
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: They all live in my business. So first, appropriately, let's

453
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: talk about Halloween crabs, and that is exactly what they

454
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: are called. They are called Halloween crabs. I love these

455
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: these little dudes so much. They are so cute. Yeah,

456
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: they're cool. They are very cool. They look like they

457
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: come from hot topic or like what's the what's the

458
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: pop up Halloween shop? Halloween Spirit or Halloween Spirit. It's

459
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: very hot topic, Halloween Spirit. These are land crabs found

460
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: in mangrove and rainforests on the Pacific coast from Mexico

461
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: to Panama. They are adorable, spooky little halloweeny crabs. They

462
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 1: have bright orange legs, purple claws, a black carapace with

463
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: two booky yellow spots on top. So like when you're

464
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: looking at it head on, it looks like a jack

465
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,719
Speaker 1: o lantern, even though those yellow spots are not actually

466
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: it's eyes. It's got like these two yellow spots and

467
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: then like a yellow spot in the middle, and so

468
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: it looks like a jack o lantern. Yeah, it really

469
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: does remind me of like party city version of like

470
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,959
Speaker 1: um getting a Halloween costume where they're like off brand

471
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: and the colors are wrong, like they just threw a

472
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: bunch of things together and said, yeah, that's a cool

473
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: reverse jack O' lantern where where the pumpkin is black

474
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: and the eyes and the orange and of course the

475
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: jack land's purple arms. Yes, of course you can't forget

476
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: about those. It's also this is a very shiny picture,

477
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: so I don't know if that's why, but it kind

478
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,239
Speaker 1: of looks like a balloon, Like it looks like one

479
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: of those Milar balloons. Yes, yes, I want to smush

480
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: its face, like off color Milar balloon of a jack o' lantern,

481
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: like with like someone made a printing error and ingust

482
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: the colors and like, uh yeah, and then I'm just

483
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: realizing sort of, um uh it's underbelly like where actually

484
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: it's mouth parts are um, that's all orange and so

485
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: it kind of that part looks like a big grinning

486
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: smile like a jack o' lantern again, like inverse an

487
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: inverse jack o lantern with a big orange smile and

488
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: then sort of yellow eyes and a yellow nose. Yeah,

489
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: that's fun. This is very spooky, very but spooking a

490
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: very cute way, sort of a Tim Burton spooky, very

491
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: nightmare before Christmas kind of crab. Yeah. And they are

492
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: a little little tiny dude, so they're pretty cute. They

493
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: only grow to be a couple of inches big. They're

494
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: about five centimeters big. Um, and they are They just

495
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: like to munch on vegetation found in leaf litter and

496
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: burrow in little holes. So uh, they're I think they're

497
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: pretty cute. This is I feel like this would be

498
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: a fun surprise, like you up over Halloween, crab Borough

499
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: and it just like pops out and it's like, yahoo,

500
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: those are some big Those are big claws. Though there

501
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: are swords to its body size. I mean, remember this

502
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: is only a couple of inches big, so it's going

503
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: to be like one of those clauses, maybe the size

504
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: of pinky. So yeah, that's too bad. Not too bad. Um,

505
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: And they live completely on land and they only returned

506
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: to the ocean to breed like a lot of terrestrial crabs.

507
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: Horny as crabs. Speaking of horny crabs, let's talk about

508
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: Christmas Island crabs. That too many nightmare before Christmas crab

509
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: action going on. That is a frenk island. I'm looking

510
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: at a frenk island. That's too many. I don't have

511
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: the island. I don't like when there are too many things.

512
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: It could be anything if there are too many, and

513
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 1: like even puppies, I'm just like, that's too many. Let

514
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: me explain to the listener why Bridget and Ave are

515
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: having a meltdown here. Christmas Island crabs flood the land

516
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: with a writhing, living sea of crabs in their migration

517
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: to and from the ocean during breeding season. So h

518
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: there are these I didn't like. I didn't like it,

519
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 1: but it's aft, it's aft. So as adults they grow

520
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: to be about five inches, which is about eleven centimeters.

521
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: They are bright red and they're called Christmas Island crabs

522
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: because they live on Christmas Island and Cocos Island in

523
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: the Indian Ocean. Um, they are terrestrial crabs. They like

524
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: to live in forests and basically they will eat any

525
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: organic material they find. It's often again like leaf litter,

526
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: little organic bits, but they will eat like avenge, like

527
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 1: dead bugs or dead rodents and stuff. Sometimes they only

528
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: returned to the sea to breed, which they do an

529
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: absolutely massive quantities. Millions and millions of them will go

530
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: in a mass migration. They follow the phases of the

531
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 1: moon to guide their annual migration back to the sea,

532
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: usually in the fall or winter. And I think the

533
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: reason for this is tides, Like they want to get

534
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 1: there at a good time for the tides because if

535
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: they're mating and releasing their eggs, they wanted to kind

536
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,439
Speaker 1: of align all good with that. Um. I'm not sure

537
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: if that's true, but that would be my guess, um

538
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: instinctual kind of right exactly. Or they're witches or their

539
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 1: witches or where crabs. Again, we've established that a real

540
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 1: very real wouldn't really be oh would it. It would

541
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: be like little little clack clack clack. Yeah, could turn

542
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: into bad crab SMR. Welcome to my new genneral crab

543
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: SMR just got some fine normal SMR worm. These ones

544
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: look like these look very sebastian esque to me. Yes, yeah,

545
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: they're bright red classic crab. This is classic crab. Is

546
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: exactly like cartoon crab. Yeah, is this true a true crab?

547
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: This is a true crab. It really is crab classic. Yeah,

548
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: it's it's a Mr Crabs kind of Yeah, exactly. I'd

549
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: let this crab run my burger joint. Yes. And so

550
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: the spectacle of millions of crabs marching into the sea

551
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: is as incredible as you might think. It's a literal

552
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: flood of crabs swarming the streets, the sidewalks and crawl

553
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: all over everything to get back to their ocean. To

554
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: have a giant crab orgy. Um. Roads have to be

555
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: closed to protect the crabs because and I assume also

556
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: your car because like that you don't want to it's

557
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: mostly to protect the crabs. But again, like you don't

558
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 1: want to run over like a bunch of crabs. That's

559
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: no good, that's not good for the undercard that could

560
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: Papa tire, and the crabs try to make this migration

561
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible so they don't dry out. Now,

562
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 1: while crabs can live on land, they actually don't have

563
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: lungs like a lot of terrestrial animals. They have gills

564
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:45,280
Speaker 1: that still require moisture for gas exchange to occur. So basically,

565
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,720
Speaker 1: as long as they're gill stlets are kind of moist

566
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: which I love talking about moist gill slets. What asks

567
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: gill stlets um, then oxygen can sort of dissolve into

568
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: the the moisture around their gill stlets and they can

569
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: uh read that in and so they scuttle. They scuttle

570
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: as fast as they can go. The migration can take

571
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks um. Human activity has to heat

572
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: and bear witness to all the crabs at this time.

573
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: It there's simply too much crabs to just go about

574
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: business as usual. Once they're at the ocean, the males

575
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,959
Speaker 1: create burrows, and actually the males usually get there before

576
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: the females. Am I right, a regressive crab huma, so

577
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: that gives them extra time to build these burrows and

578
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: then the females will arrive. Males kind of compete for

579
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: the females, and then they mate inside the burrows, and

580
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: then the females will stay there while the males return

581
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: to the island, and the females stay in these burrows

582
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: for a few days, protecting their eggs in a brood sack,

583
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: and when they're ready, they will scuttle over to the

584
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: ocean and do what looks like this sort of jigglie

585
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: dance with their like claws, race in the air and

586
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: they're just like shutowing dance, and that's actually to deposit

587
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 1: their eggs into the ocean. And there's a lot of

588
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 1: eggs and a lot of crabs doing this at the

589
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: same time, so you can probably imagine what that looks like.

590
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: I just a lot, a lot, a lot of a

591
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: lot of eggs. I think I decided what the party

592
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: crab was too soon. I mean that was a spider.

593
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: I mean we got a party spider and these are

594
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: the party crabs. Can you imagine if like that's how

595
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: we gave birth and just like at a party, like

596
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: baby baby, baby baby. Honestly, I would prefer that, I

597
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: think from from right, just shooting babies out, just being

598
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: like look how far like go along, go along? Let's

599
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: shoot this baby out. From what I understand of birth,

600
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 1: that seems like a more pleasant experiences fun. Yeah, I

601
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: like that. But the females will also return to the

602
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: island once they have laid their eggs. And I always,

603
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: I always love an animal that's not similar Paris, meaning

604
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: these do not just breed once. It's kind of nice

605
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: that they go on this adventure, lay their eggs and

606
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: then they go back to their lives. Like it's always

607
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: sad to me when there's like a big spawning event,

608
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: like with salmon, there's a huge spawning event and then

609
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: the salmon just die. It just seems really tragic to me.

610
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: So these crabs, though, they lost a good amount of time,

611
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: so they'll they'll return back to the island smoke a cigarette,

612
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 1: get back to the collective island. Just a huge waft

613
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: of smoke comes up. There are so many pictures of

614
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 1: crabs holding cigarettes, and it's sad because it's litter, but

615
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: it is funny because they talk every time. It's hilarious.

616
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: It's it's yeah, I mean, these are truly Yeah, they

617
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: have Like I like that they have like a month

618
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: off work to go party on the island. They do

619
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 1: a little dance, A little dance. Yeah, leave they have

620
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: a big orgy. It's awkward because they probably run into

621
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: some of their crab coworkers. That what happens at the

622
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: Christmas Island crab orgies stays at the Christmas Island crab orgy.

623
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: It's crab rub springer, but it happens. And just think

624
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: about like how dense this area is. Like so you're

625
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: freaking and you like look over and you're like, oh, hey,

626
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: what's up, Dave. They do they do actually breed inside

627
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: the burrows, so there's a little bit of privacy there,

628
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: so all right, but they lay their eggs all together,

629
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,919
Speaker 1: so it's like, you know, it's just like hey, girl

630
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,879
Speaker 1: and then just like splorching out a bunch of Yes,

631
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:36,760
Speaker 1: the propriety of crabs big birthday party. So so story

632
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: over right, You got your mating, your mass migration story

633
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: just beginning. When there's a mass mating event and these

634
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: are terrestrial crabs, what happens to the babies? You guys

635
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: have the babies, so many millions and millions and babies

636
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: the children's Yeah, actually a lot of them will get

637
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: eaten that you know, all's fair and mass mating a

638
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: lot of them will survive, and they actually go through

639
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: larval stages in the ocean, and after about a month

640
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: they returned to the shore, molting into tiny crabs, just know,

641
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: itty bitty baby crabs about five millimeters big, real, itty bitty,

642
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: about the size of like a thumbnail. And these little

643
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: babies begin a mass migration to the island. And I

644
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: mean there's something about like, when you see the mass

645
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: migration of the adult crabs, it's like, okay, yeah, like

646
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of crabs. There's something I guess a little

647
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: bit weird about it, a little maybe intimidating. But with

648
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: the baby crabs, it is just a carpet of millions

649
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 1: and millions of bright red, itty bitty crabs, and it's

650
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: hard to even tell what you're looking at. It just

651
00:42:55,440 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: looks like a furry, giant, furry moving carpet, letting down

652
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: like storm drains and crawling over sidewalk. I remember this

653
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: video of this, like little kittie sitting on the sidewalk,

654
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: scooping up baby crabs and like trying to like it

655
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 1: was like trying to eat them. But I think it

656
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 1: just got so overwhelmed. It was like staring at this

657
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: red sea of baby crabs, and the cat I could

658
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 1: tell was having an existential crisis. I have just one.

659
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: I imagine the Indiana Jones and the Ants scene in

660
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: the Crystal Skull on where they just devour everything that

661
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: they just walked through behind shell. Yeah, because you said

662
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: they're like millimeters, So if there's millions of them and

663
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: they're like walking over each other, it's just yeah, like

664
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: you said, like a wave of crab. Fortunately, they're mostly

665
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: focused on reaching the forest so they can kind of

666
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: hide under the leaf litter and get n some moisture

667
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: and get some security. A lot of them will die

668
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: on the journey and fortunately, um, they can't skeletalize account. No,

669
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, they can't do that. Actually, speaking of ants,

670
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,560
Speaker 1: the real horror story is that there are these things

671
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: called yellow crazy ants that I mean, that's just like

672
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: literally their name, and they are an invasive species on

673
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: these islands and they are actually threatening the crab population.

674
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: Although this may be a case where there's just so

675
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: many crabs that there's just no way that the ants

676
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: can win, which so I'm rooting. I'm rooting for the crabs.

677
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 1: When it's crab versus ant, I root for the crabs. Yeah,

678
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 1: ants are kind of op to yah for biomass man ants.

679
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: He can't beat him. Yeah, there, their organization is scarier

680
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 1: than these crabs. But this baby crab, it's it's it's

681
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: like a reverse sea turtle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's actually yeah,

682
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: I like that too. They're like reverse to turtles and

683
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: to me, honestly, just as cute, maybe more intimidating a

684
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: threatening aura because of how many they are, but cute also.

685
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 1: I but I went to watch sea Turtles hatch when

686
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: I was a kid, and I was like, no, that's

687
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: too many. We gotta go. We got I know they're

688
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: they're real cute, and I'm wishing them all the best,

689
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: but Rusphoria, but there are too many of you, and

690
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's like little zombies coming out of

691
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,439
Speaker 1: the ground. And like part of me this sounds weird,

692
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: I understand, but part of me just wants to lie

693
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: down in the path of these Christmas Island crabs and

694
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: let them crawl all over me. And we're like, I'm

695
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: covered in little crab puppies. Yeah, because they got like

696
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 1: they've got a plan. They you know, you're not a

697
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 1: part of their plans. So they're probably not gonna do anything.

698
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: I might get little pinchies from like little baby crabs,

699
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: but the hurt me. Although it is You're right, it

700
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: is a little intimidating. I'm looking at the top image

701
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: that you're showing, and there's a kind of a retaining

702
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: wall that they're keeping get them away from the streets

703
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 1: so that the crabs don't get run over by cars.

704
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: But you can tell in the distance crabs are climbing

705
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: on top of crabs, on top of crabs in order

706
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: to get in. It's like that scene in World War

707
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: Z A zombies are climbing on top of each other,

708
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: and they're actually people that have to like sweep the

709
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: crabs off the road, both for the crab safety and

710
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: for to allow cars to pass, so which just like

711
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: sweeping all these crabs off, just very casually. It's like

712
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: cane toads in Australia, Oh, kane toads, though those aren't

713
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: cute at all. I have I have a brudge against

714
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 1: cane toads because they're an invasive species that threatened the

715
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: beautiful qual Anyways, that's another episode. Actually we did that

716
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: in an invasive species episode, so check that out to

717
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: find out why why cane toads are such a nightmare

718
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: fascinating story. Speaking of nightmare ers, though, while Christmas Island

719
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 1: crabs have sheer numbers on their side, coconut crabs are

720
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: uncomfortably chunky and big. Yeah. A picture of a coconut

721
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 1: crab on a trash can, and it's like it's a

722
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: trashed around this trash can. Yeah, it's like the size

723
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: of a trash can lid. Hell yeahs horrified. No, I

724
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: actually mentioned this crab earlier talking about carsonization, because these

725
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: are not true crabs. They are evolved from hermit crabs,

726
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: and boy did they evolve because they are big, big, old.

727
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: That's when I remember of my friend's hermit crab lost.

728
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: Oh man, they look like face huggers, but like, yeah,

729
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 1: well yeah, they do look like face face huggers, but like,

730
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: imagine a face hugger that's like maybe six times the size,

731
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: yeah of your face. Yeah head crabs from Half Life

732
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: two and Half Life one exposed to the half Life's Yeah.

733
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: So these are found on coastal habitats and islands across

734
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. They are the largest

735
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: terrestrial arthropod in the world. Uh, they have these big

736
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 1: hard shells and colors ranging from brown to burgundy to blue,

737
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: kind of modeled with some like lighter colors. Uh, it'd

738
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 1: be kind of it'd be kind of pretty if they weren't,

739
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:45,919
Speaker 1: you know, so horrifying, if they weren't about like six

740
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 1: times too big. Yeah, And it's not just their size,

741
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 1: it's like there they look beefy. Their muscular how do

742
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: you know how much like one of these would weigh

743
00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: which they weigh up to about nine pounds, which is

744
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,439
Speaker 1: four kilograms, and they reach a span of about three

745
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,479
Speaker 1: ft from foot to foot, so that's about one meter.

746
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 1: That's like a that's a big human baby. That's a

747
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: big human baby. Also, don't leave your human babies around

748
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:25,439
Speaker 1: these tiny dog ground that eating about the way length. Yeah,

749
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 1: they're kind of like, yeah, it's something. It's uncomfortable. It's

750
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: an uncomfortable looking animal. They are hunky and chunky and

751
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: ready to rumble. They actually Darwin just called them monstrous,

752
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: makes sense. They have giant meaty claws, just big, big, big, wow,

753
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: big claws. They like other land crabs. They are scavengers

754
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: and they'll basically scavenge on anything, fruits, leaves dead bodies

755
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,640
Speaker 1: the worst thing you could have said. Yes, they will

756
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: eat carrion. They're also called Robert crabs because they love

757
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: to steal things that they find on the ground, settle

758
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 1: off with it, and like possibly eat it. Um. Sometimes

759
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 1: they kill live birds if the bird is not fast enough,

760
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: and slowly eat them alive. Yeah, I mean, these guys

761
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 1: can bully most things pretty well. Their claws are so beefcakes.

762
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: They have incredible force with a grip of three hundred Newton's,

763
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 1: which is ten times stronger than a human's grip. They

764
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: can literally break bones with this grip. They can, and

765
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: that's how they can eat dead bodies, like carrying and

766
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: just like crunch the bone. In fact, there's a conspiracy

767
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:55,720
Speaker 1: theory that coconut crabs dismembered Amelia Earhart's body after she died.

768
00:50:56,719 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: Basic This is based on there was a badly fractured

769
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:08,239
Speaker 1: and dismembered skeleton found on nickumarro Ro Island near where

770
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: she had crashed. This it's impossible to know this is true,

771
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: but it's just speculated. Like if she died there and

772
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: coconut crabs who lived there like came across her body,

773
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,479
Speaker 1: they could potentially dismember her and carry off her body

774
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: parts and eat them, which maybe why like different parts

775
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: of the skeleton are found in different places and seems

776
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 1: to be badly fractured. Do you guys know the actor

777
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: Michael chicklists, he's from the shed or the you know

778
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: the thing, uh, the original. He's a beefy, bald headed guy.

779
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: This crab the Michael chicklists of the crab Kingdom. Baby

780
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,879
Speaker 1: coconut crabs are actually kind of cute. They really show

781
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: you how they evolved from hermit crabs because when they're

782
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:03,720
Speaker 1: small that they actually hide in land snail shells until

783
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: they grow big and strong with hard carapaces and claws

784
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: so that they can at that point defend themselves. But

785
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: when they're little babies, they just kind of look like

786
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: hermit crabs. It always comes back to snails on this podcast.

787
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: Something so endearing about animal king like the co opting

788
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 1: of like, well, I'm just gonna like how opportunistic but

789
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: que like, oh I found a little thing, uh and

790
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, the shell of a different thing,

791
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,600
Speaker 1: but that's my house. Now. Why why grow your own

792
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: shell and you can lease it? Yeah? Exactly, exactly, Yeah,

793
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:41,399
Speaker 1: I just written my friend's hermit crabs. She painted one

794
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: like Mr Crabs and we were just like waiting for

795
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: it to move into the Mr Crab shell, and it

796
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:52,919
Speaker 1: never wanted to. It's every Yeah, they will, they will

797
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: inspect these shells, make sure it's the right dimensions. Like,

798
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 1: if you own a hermit crab, you should probably actually

799
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: give it a few else to choose from. I never

800
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: chost the one we wanted it to choose. Actually had

801
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: a hermit crab as a kid, and one time it

802
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: crawled up into my armpit, pinched meat and refused to

803
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: let go. And I was actually near tears because I

804
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: wanted to get it out of my armpit, and I

805
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,720
Speaker 1: could have just ripped it off, but I was scared

806
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: of hurting its little arm so I was just like,

807
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 1: I guess it lives in my arm I was tested

808
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: out the specks of your pit. Yeah, like it was

809
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: thinking of maybe like moving in there. Like that's its

810
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: new that's its new home is my armpit. And I

811
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:41,479
Speaker 1: become half girl, half hermit crab house. Not hermit crab,

812
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: but hermit crab house. It's just give me the food,

813
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: little girl. We shall become one unit, and you shall

814
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,439
Speaker 1: listen to what I say. You got your little own

815
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: like armpit quatto. I just like it's like drags along

816
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: my body like a big shell. It's a real real

817
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: ginge Eto style horror. Yeah. One of these coconut crabs

818
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: the edible you get a lot of meat off that.

819
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 1: Actually I think they are and I've heard they're actually

820
00:54:15,520 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: quite good tasting because that's a lot of meat you get.

821
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,879
Speaker 1: You get like a good bank for your box. Because

822
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: I've heard coconut crab, but I'm trying to remember if

823
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 1: it's an actual coconut crab just crabbing mixed with co coconut. Yeah,

824
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 1: It's could go either way on I assume they're called

825
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 1: coconut crabs because like there's especially they're in there like

826
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: I guess stor x area their body, their main bulk,

827
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: bulbous like coconut looking. Yeah. Actually it is eaten in

828
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 1: parts of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands uh and

829
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:56,720
Speaker 1: is considered to be quite tasty. So yeah, what happens

830
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 1: to a dead body when it's dumped in the ocean

831
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: gets devoured of course by a variety of creatures, and

832
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 1: especially crabs. They like to pick dead flesh off of

833
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: cadavers that sink to the bottom of the sea. Think

834
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: about that next time you enjoy some soft shelled crab.

835
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 1: When we return, we'll discover all kinds of creepy crawleys

836
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,439
Speaker 1: that like to chomp on cadavers deep under the sea.

837
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: So you're running away from Freddie Jason and Michael Myers

838
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:35,320
Speaker 1: and you're doing it underwater, Well, you're in a tough spot.

839
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: And oh no, they've got your arm. Well, no sweat,

840
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: You're a porcelain crab, and you can just pop your

841
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: arm right off. You can grow a new one, and

842
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: you'll leave your pursuers bamboozled. This is a trick other

843
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 1: crabs can do as well, But porcelain crabs are the

844
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 1: masters of disarming themselves. Of course, who knows if this

845
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: technique will save you from the terrifying sea monsters were

846
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: now going to discuss. So we've talked about how the

847
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,800
Speaker 1: the ark of the universe bends towards crab. We've talked

848
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: about land crabs. Now let's go back into the water

849
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:18,720
Speaker 1: and talk about marine crabs that are spookey Halloween crab,

850
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: spooky crabs like the Little Mermaid. But the Little Mermaid

851
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:29,320
Speaker 1: is dead and all her friends are skeletons, and Sebastian's

852
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: eating her. Sebastian. It's like in the Corpse Bride where

853
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: she has her little friend animals, the little maggot inside

854
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: her skull and like pops out of her eyeball. It's

855
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:45,239
Speaker 1: like that, but it's like a crab eating eating arials brains. Yeah,

856
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:48,919
Speaker 1: I love that. I'm just I'm super into that. Very cute. First,

857
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Jetti crab. So this is very

858
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: appropriately named. Yeah, it's big jetty arms. It's like, uh,

859
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 1: it's like Sully from Monsters, Inc. As a crab. Yeah,

860
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:08,280
Speaker 1: it's a white crab with these big, old, hairy yetty arms,

861
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: and its legs are harry. It's carapace. The rest of

862
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: its body is actually not harry, so it makes those

863
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: hairy arms even more interesting looking. It's like, uh, god,

864
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: I am forgetting the name. But like the Banana Lady

865
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: who comes out and she has like the big puffy

866
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: arms like arm ruffles. Yeah, it looks exactly like the

867
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: Chickida Banana Lady exactly in everything else other than a crab,

868
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,919
Speaker 1: and she was a crab fruit fruit platter on his head.

869
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:47,400
Speaker 1: These are found in the depths of the South Pacific

870
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 1: Sea on the ocean floor at about two thousand, two

871
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 1: hundred meters below, which is about seven thousand two d

872
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: I got a surprise for you, guys. Do you have

873
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 1: a crab with you right now? Am I gonna like it?

874
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: Or am I gonna hate it? I don't know, but

875
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 1: you guys, this is again not a real crab. Bamboozled again,

876
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: just CBS the universe pumping out more crab like evolutions.

877
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: So this is actually this is a crustacean. It is

878
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: a decapod. It's its own family of weird, hairy, armed decapods,

879
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: related to again the squat lobsters, which are not lobsters lobster,

880
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: squat lobster. No no, no, no, no no no. It's

881
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: all I can think about is Sometimes it's also called

882
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: a yeti lobster, although to me it looks more like

883
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: a crab, but it's neither a crab nor a lobster.

884
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:49,480
Speaker 1: They are mostly blind. It seems their hair on their

885
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: arms are actually filaments covered in bacteria, which may detoxify

886
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 1: water that comes from thermal vents. So it's like they've

887
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 1: got their own bread of filters on their arms. Hell, yeah,

888
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 1: nature rules. That's pretty cool bacteria. But then when it

889
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: said filter, I was like, okay, hey, these are helpful

890
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: bacteria because like the water coming out of these thermal

891
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: vents can have like toxic minerals in it, and then

892
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: these like arms like help filter it out before it

893
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 1: reaches their giltlets. This is also the crab that I

894
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: would want to bring to like a protest, because they

895
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: would like extend their arm up and you'd see it

896
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: from afar. Yeah, they got real long arms. Yeah. I

897
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 1: feel like these are kind of spooky, but in the

898
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 1: same way that like yetties and sasquatches are spooky, where

899
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: it's like sort of a threatening aura, but also I

900
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 1: kind of want to hug them. Yeah, they got big

901
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: long arms for hugs. They got big fluffy arms full

902
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: of helpful water purifying bacteria to hug me with, and

903
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah, comfortable, safe arms, right, And that's

904
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: that's the last cute crab. I think we're just guessing today,

905
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: you guys, because now we're going to talk about Japanese

906
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:09,640
Speaker 1: spider crabs. I've seen these. I've seen these before, scared

907
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: to scrawled down. These are some spooky crabs. Oh my god.

908
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: Do you see a tiny man holding a normal sized crab? Nope,

909
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: it's a normal sized man holding a giant crab. Those noises,

910
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:28,400
Speaker 1: I came out, We're in voluntary. I'm so sorry. It's okay,

911
01:00:28,520 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 1: it's good. This is why I brought you on, Bridget

912
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: is uh, because I remember this conversation we had when

913
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: you were like, oh, man, crabs they bullied me, and

914
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: I was like, you know what, let's explore let's exploit

915
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: that trauma for the podcast. Yeah, you're you're almost always

916
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: I've painted myself into this corner. I didn't warn you,

917
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: and I actually did directly tell you like I want

918
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: on because I know you hate crabs and we're going

919
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,800
Speaker 1: to talk about crab. Yeah I did not, and you said,

920
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 1: yes I did, because I was like, I'm not scared

921
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: of them. I've just had a lot of bad interactions

922
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 1: with crabs and it turns out, no, I don't like them.

923
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: So this is actually a true crab and it is

924
01:01:18,440 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: the biggest, longest legged arthropod in the world. So they

925
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: got big old games. Do those legs go all the

926
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: way up? They pertainly? Do I want like I want

927
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 1: a team, like a like a Buddy Cop movie between

928
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: a coconut crab and a Japanese spider crab. Yeah, yeah,

929
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 1: legs in the chunk Man. Yeah exactly, there you got it.

930
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: So you should pitch that legs, legs and the chunk Man.

931
01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: It's like legs, gota we gotta we gotta got cigarettes

932
01:01:55,640 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: and legs. It's like yes, talks like the who was

933
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 1: that guy in uh? He's like an Alice in Wonderland.

934
01:02:04,160 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 1: The voice I forgot Johnny Depp, No, the old one,

935
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: the old Disney one, ed Wynn ed Wyn. Yeah, yeah,

936
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,479
Speaker 1: that's what that's the voice I imagine for the spider crab.

937
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Just like anything with like super long legs. You just

938
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 1: immediately excuse me while I walk over. It's like I

939
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: imagine it kind of spookily crossing the ocean floor with

940
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: the soundtrack of Do it's always doing the like WB

941
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: Frog thing and it's a little top hat and then

942
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: it cut and then it cuts to the cooking and

943
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: crab and it's just like weird, weird. I mean, this

944
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 1: is like the Jack Skellington of crabs. It's like it's

945
01:02:56,240 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 1: so they're leg to leg span reaches up to a

946
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 1: little over twelve feet four meters. They can wait to

947
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 1: be up to about forty two pounds nineteen kgs. They

948
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 1: are found off the coast of Japan's hans Shue Island

949
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: in the deep Ocean at about fifty to six hundred

950
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: meters so a hundred sixty ft. They are big and spooky,

951
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: but they are actually described as non aggressive and have

952
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: what's called a gentle disposition. Like you know again like

953
01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 1: Jack Skellington, like this is crab a wing crab, a

954
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 1: wing crab a wing here too, pinch you with my legs,

955
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 1: bridget imagine the dunks that this I know that it

956
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: has like a Dwight Howard wings right, crabsketball crabskt ball.

957
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 1: Now there's gonna launch itself up and just dunk. Don't

958
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean I could stand at like the half court

959
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: line and just lazily reach over. Yeah, I mean is

960
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 1: a monstar that's kind of like that, right, Yeah, yeah,

961
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 1: the show Bradley Monster, the Blue Ones, Right, but yeah,

962
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 1: like there's just no you know, it just puts its

963
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: arm up and it's it's just a defensive monster. It's

964
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 1: just ma tumbo wearing everybody. Don't you imagine giving like

965
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: a high five you just like high five. It's like, sure,

966
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,919
Speaker 1: it doesn't even need to move. Yeah, that's dope. There's

967
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: something there's something about it though, being gentle that screeps

968
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: me out a little bit. Like if these were aggressive,

969
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: I'd be like, yeah, these are like, you know, ocean monsters.

970
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 1: But because they're gentle scavengers, just like daintily picking up

971
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: things with their long, long, spindly legs, there's something. It's

972
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:45,000
Speaker 1: just like it's worth waiting for, yeah, because it makes

973
01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 1: you feel like it's going to come out and touch you.

974
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:49,439
Speaker 1: Like it right, It's kind of like pet your face

975
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 1: gently and right. It's like in Split when James McAvoy

976
01:04:54,520 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 1: McAvoy macavoy, uh macavoy goes for I'm being uh, you know,

977
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: like a monster to being a sweet person, being like

978
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: I've made you a sandwich. It's so unsettling because you

979
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: know it can kill you. Yeah, I mean I don't

980
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: think these guys to be to be perfectly honest, I

981
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: don't think that these can kill you. They even though

982
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 1: they have really long spindly legs, there are actually their

983
01:05:22,160 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: cloths are kind of dainty. Uh. One of these the

984
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 1: minute to reach out like the breakable bones by the way,

985
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,800
Speaker 1: for every single crab that you've shown us today, Katie,

986
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: I've in my head said, like, I could take this.

987
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: I could take this crap, not the coconut, the coconut

988
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: crap that could like, I don't know, my money is

989
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 1: on the Yeah, no, my money is on that coconut crowd.

990
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: It has a grip ten times that of a human abe.

991
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear you, like,

992
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,200
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I'm crafty, but I think I

993
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: could do it. Tool should Yeah, we can set this up.

994
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: Let's claws where your mouth is. Yeah, there you go.

995
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 1: So the Japanese spider crabs are I'm never scavengers. They'll

996
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 1: basically eat anything they can pick up with their long,

997
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: spindly claws, which is great. Love that. And sometimes they

998
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: camouflage themselves by picking up sea sponges and other sedentary

999
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 1: organisms and put them on their carapace to sort of

1000
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: like blend in more with their environment, which again just

1001
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: imagine one of these guys like just gonna pick this

1002
01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 1: up with my long leg, gonna pick it up with

1003
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: my really really long leg, Gonna put it on my

1004
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: crazy body. Now I look like a see sponge and

1005
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 1: bust up. How does this thing think it blends in

1006
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: It's like a tripod. It's like so unlike any formation

1007
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 1: that the ocean. It's got to be. Yeah, it's so big.

1008
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 1: It's not working, buddy. It probably uses the camouflage more

1009
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: when it's younger and more vulnerable. But I do love

1010
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: the idea of just one of these massive adults still

1011
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: in the habit of doing this, picking up a tiny

1012
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: sea sponge and being like, I'm just gonna put this

1013
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 1: on my body. No, there we go nowhere, practically invisible.

1014
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 1: It's also got these pictures that are perfect for like

1015
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 1: bringing into frame a top hat. My god, I don't

1016
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It does make you're kind of right about

1017
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 1: the sociopath thing. Like I do think that maybe it's

1018
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,919
Speaker 1: got like a family kidnapped in the basement because it's

1019
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 1: too nice. If it's got a gentle disposition, as you said,

1020
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: do Do Do Do your dreams, gets close enough and

1021
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 1: just like tickles you and scampers away, but it's just

1022
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: so threatening. Yeah. I don't understand how this thing moves either.

1023
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: Is it like scuttering or is it taking like big

1024
01:07:56,280 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 1: long stripes spit long smooth move strides that was what

1025
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: I was hoping you wouldn't say our crab legs. You

1026
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 1: might know this, Katie, because you're you know, this is

1027
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: your podcast. Do do spider legs and crab legs work similarly? Well?

1028
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: Spider legs use hydraulics mostly to move, whereas I think

1029
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: crab legs actually have muscle in them. So not exactly,

1030
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: because I know that when a spider dies, like it

1031
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 1: it crumping calls up because of the well, right, because

1032
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 1: like it's essentially the spiders are moving with hydraulics where

1033
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:45,760
Speaker 1: you have these fluids inside the leg changing pressure and

1034
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 1: that helps the legs to move. But I think crabs

1035
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 1: actually have they rely more on muscle to move. It's

1036
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 1: fascinating that it's still can achieve from an exterior same

1037
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: kind of you know, look to my eyes. Yeah, the

1038
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: joints like that, and yeah, they developed the same similar

1039
01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: number of legs. Spiders do have muscles, they just I

1040
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:14,719
Speaker 1: think they rely more on hydraulics than crabs do, whereas

1041
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 1: crabs rely more on the muscle. Cool, thank you for that.

1042
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: Crab legs. Now, I've shown you all these crabs some

1043
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 1: terrifying and stuff, but I've actually liked all of them

1044
01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm sort of one of these people who

1045
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 1: just like, I'll love it pretty much any animal. We're

1046
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: getting to the crab that actually scares me. Uh, And

1047
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 1: this is not it's not the biggest crab, it's not

1048
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:47,960
Speaker 1: the hairiest crab. It's just the worst crab. It's the

1049
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:52,719
Speaker 1: worst thing to look at. This is called the arrowhead crab.

1050
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: It is fat. I haven't scrolled down yet. I'm so scared. Yeah,

1051
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 1: it's it's a hid is. It is found in the

1052
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:04,519
Speaker 1: Atlantic Ocean from Carolina to Argentina. They live in coral reefs.

1053
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: So again, like, they're not like a deep sea crab,

1054
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 1: they're not here. There's nothing that like tips you off

1055
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 1: like this is gonna be the spookiest crab in the

1056
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 1: ocean until it walks into frame and you're like, I'm

1057
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: it's all haunted. It's all haunted. They're horrible legs and

1058
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: ten percent horrible weird little body. Uh. They look like

1059
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 1: you took an umbrella, removed all the fabrics lit those

1060
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 1: weird spindley umbrella wires. I'm not really sure what they're called.

1061
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 1: The spokes like the spokes of the umbrella, just but

1062
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 1: they're alive and they scamper around. Yeah, and if it

1063
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: was made of bones, like very thin phone, I don't

1064
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 1: you know that's seen in Coraline where the other mother's

1065
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: hand that like mechanical hand cut off and it's like

1066
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 1: shaped like a spider, but like made out of umbrella

1067
01:10:56,280 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 1: spokes like it's like that, but crab. I want to

1068
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 1: see this thing move because my favorite I wish it

1069
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:08,240
Speaker 1: just jumps and spins. You're in luck, abe. I have

1070
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: included links to YouTube videos, also including these in the

1071
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: show notes if you guys would like to see. The

1072
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:17,719
Speaker 1: first one is actually of an arrowhead crab molting, which

1073
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: is probably the worst thing I've ever seen. The other

1074
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: one is just one of these little scamps scuttle scuttling

1075
01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 1: around a reef having a good old time. Um, but

1076
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 1: let me continue to explain what these look like to

1077
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 1: the listeners. So, their legs are long, thin, and spind lee.

1078
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: They're not actually that big, it's just the proportion of

1079
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 1: the legs to the body, so they do actually look

1080
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 1: a lot like giant daddy long legs. Their legs grow

1081
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 1: up to be about four inches or ten centimeters long,

1082
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 1: but again it's like their legs are so long, and

1083
01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,120
Speaker 1: their body is so tiny compared to their legs. It

1084
01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 1: just looks like a horrible alien umbrella spider. But speaking

1085
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: of their body, their bodies are bad to look at

1086
01:12:02,200 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 1: as well, because they're their carapace is shaped like a

1087
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:11,479
Speaker 1: weird triangle, and their rostrum, which is basically the beak

1088
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 1: of a crab. When you think of a rostrum, like

1089
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: you know how like shrimp have that that face and

1090
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: then like the head kind of like comes to a

1091
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:21,600
Speaker 1: point that's like that that little beak part is like

1092
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: the rostrum, but that grows really long, like this big

1093
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 1: unicorn horn on top of their heads that is serrated

1094
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 1: like tiny saw, and it's bad to look at it.

1095
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: It's bad so to catch up to speed. It is

1096
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 1: like an underwater umbrella spider with big spindle legs, a

1097
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:52,880
Speaker 1: tiny triangle body, and a unicorn horn with a saw

1098
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:58,759
Speaker 1: on it. Cool, it's a nightmare. In terms of colors,

1099
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,240
Speaker 1: that the kind of pretty color or is. Their legs

1100
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: are typically orangy red and they're dainty little pincers at

1101
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: the tips of their long spind lee claws or blue

1102
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:11,720
Speaker 1: or purple ish, So yeah, kind of pretty. Other than

1103
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,920
Speaker 1: the shape The shape is bad. The shape looks like

1104
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,599
Speaker 1: you broke all the sliders in like a crab character creation,

1105
01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:21,919
Speaker 1: and you just turn all the sliders up to nightmare,

1106
01:13:22,160 --> 01:13:24,719
Speaker 1: like broke broke it. It's like you broke the crab.

1107
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 1: The crab is just it's all wrong. It's legs are

1108
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 1: there's just too much legs, too much of a weird

1109
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 1: horn on it. Yeah, there's not a color this thing

1110
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 1: could be that would make me feel comfortable, right right, um. Regardless,

1111
01:13:40,920 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 1: people keep them as pets for some reason. Oh my god.

1112
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 1: In fact, one of these videos that I'm showing you guys,

1113
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 1: I think it is someone who owns one of these things.

1114
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: And uh, thank you so much for videotaping your pet molting.

1115
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: It's a great addition to YouTube. The part where you

1116
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,679
Speaker 1: can see it hollow its legs out of the Yeah,

1117
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 1: that's a fun. That's a always. Molting is one of

1118
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: those things like when you watch a spider malt and

1119
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: it kind of peels itself out of its old exoskeleton.

1120
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:18,600
Speaker 1: It's a little unsettling. This time is a billion just

1121
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 1: because of how long those dangle legs are. It just

1122
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 1: keeps Yeah, like I mean, I'm you know, personifying crabs

1123
01:14:30,640 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 1: a little too much, but like or anything that molts.

1124
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 1: But malting feels like a very intimate thing. I don't

1125
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 1: want it being filmed. Yeah, it feels it feels private

1126
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 1: and personal. I generally agree, but for some reason, these

1127
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 1: crabs to me look like perverts exhibitionists. Sure, yeah, the

1128
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 1: crab likes it, but you know it's like it's it's

1129
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 1: singing a little burless song, like dad just taking off.

1130
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 1: It's very long glove. Yeah, exactly, see whatever you see,

1131
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 1: what you see all the weirder animals. What I always

1132
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 1: do in my head is I think of, like, what

1133
01:15:16,760 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: would the voice be if this was like a Pixar animation.

1134
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 1: And the second one, the second image that you sent

1135
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:28,879
Speaker 1: to us, because it we never get that's the closest

1136
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: up we see of its actual like face, and it's

1137
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 1: like I just imagine. I imagine like a very snooty

1138
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 1: French guy, like the little hermit crab in a Finding Nemo.

1139
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah exactly, but this because his eyes are

1140
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 1: like very I don't know. Maybe it's also these the ways.

1141
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't know why I always imagine crabs with cigarettes

1142
01:15:56,560 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 1: with MIAMII long m Why is this my legs a log.

1143
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 1: These things are hideous. I do like I do like

1144
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 1: Daddy long legs though, yeah, yeah, I don't mind most,

1145
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 1: but the thing is imagine it being big and then

1146
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 1: it's scary, both the Daddy long legs and the this crab,

1147
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:23,760
Speaker 1: the triangle crab, because it's just like or sorry, not

1148
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:29,519
Speaker 1: triangle crab, the arrow head crab, because imagine this thing

1149
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: just dominating the skyline. Yeah, like yeah, like it's a

1150
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:39,920
Speaker 1: misty day and you can't hear it too much because

1151
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 1: it's like got spindly legs that when they impact the ground,

1152
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:46,120
Speaker 1: they don't actually make that much noise, but just suddenly

1153
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:50,760
Speaker 1: start to see this long silhouette of this big spindley thing.

1154
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:54,800
Speaker 1: I think I think you're thinking of the mist I

1155
01:16:54,880 --> 01:17:00,519
Speaker 1: think there's the Stephen King Frank Derivant film, because I

1156
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: think there is a there's a like an organism that

1157
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,439
Speaker 1: comes from this that's like very much looks like one

1158
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: of these things. Interesting. The crab missed tell crabs, it's

1159
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: all crabs, baby, I really want. I know it might

1160
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:19,360
Speaker 1: be hard to achieve this, but the kids on the

1161
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:23,320
Speaker 1: Internet they love to create new cryptids, and right now

1162
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:25,599
Speaker 1: I think like it used to be like slender Man,

1163
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: but we're like over slender Man, which I get he's

1164
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 1: old news. But and now it's like siren head um,

1165
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: which is like a big spindly thing with like a

1166
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:39,719
Speaker 1: siren for a head that like does creepy siren noises,

1167
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: And I love that. Could we get like a giant

1168
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 1: terrestrial spind lee crab cryptid going going in the get

1169
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: that going in the chest? That is because anything that like,

1170
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that was the creepy thing about any of

1171
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:57,760
Speaker 1: these crabs with really long legs, like anything that you

1172
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 1: imagine like just reaching out and slowly like touching you right,

1173
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: The feel the feel of its leg on your skin

1174
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: is not a good imagination station, to be honest. And

1175
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 1: like whenever you see those like super long legs, it's

1176
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,440
Speaker 1: all I can think of it, Like it just slowly

1177
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 1: reaching out and like touching your face very chently, right

1178
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: in a sort of slow smooth motion, like because jerky

1179
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: jerky emotions can be creepy, but somehow, like slow spindly

1180
01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 1: emotions can also be really creepy. Yeah, it is worse,

1181
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,600
Speaker 1: I think, I agree. Uh So, if any of you

1182

01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 1: the hairy stone crab. What crab do you guys think

1210
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: I would be? I I think it's the happy Face

1211
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: happy the happy face yet a crab, but have crabs

1212
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:34,240
Speaker 1: some of them were crabs, but this was definitively a spider.

1213
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 1: But yeah, not a crab. But I guess I still

1214
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 1: appreciate being the happy face spider. Uh yeah, yeah, because

1215
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,360
Speaker 1: I've always I've always thought of you is like you

1216
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 1: have a very cheery persona, but I am constantly scared

1217
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:51,280
Speaker 1: you're going to eat me. Well, yeah, I'm going to

1218
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: give you a flower spider crab. Oh right right, the

1219
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 1: yeah flower spider crab again, a spider. I like, how

1220
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:02,040
Speaker 1: you you can't be a crab because you are definitely

1221
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:05,840
Speaker 1: a billion spiders in a people's suit, which you know

1222
01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 1: I won't argue against it. I think at this point

1223
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,840
Speaker 1: everyone already knows. But yeah, no, I'm I'm flattered with

1224
01:21:11,960 --> 01:21:14,560
Speaker 1: both of those. Actually, I love, I love. I do

1225
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:18,479
Speaker 1: think I have like a friendly aura. And then but

1226
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 1: you're also a little worried because then I keep getting

1227
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:25,640
Speaker 1: arms keep coming out. Look what I like about the

1228
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 1: flower spreader crab. It also has like the ends are red,

1229
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: so it's like your your red hair right exactly, my

1230
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 1: my beguiling red hair, and then my horrible chills array exactly. Look,

1231
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,800
Speaker 1: none of these are good. Well we've done it. We've

1232
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 1: become crab as the universe wants us to be. Apparently

1233
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:50,479
Speaker 1: like orders stored right, I know that they're like, oh,

1234
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 1: the universe entropy is the ultimate, uh destination of the universe.

1235
01:21:56,360 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 1: I disagree. I think crab crab crab is the ultimate.

1236
01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:04,200
Speaker 1: It's like Stephen Hawking is like the universe is going

1237
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:06,960
Speaker 1: to cool down and spread out. I think the universe

1238
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:11,719
Speaker 1: is gonna crab out. To be honest, h G Well said,

1239
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be all horseshoe crabs. So it's gonna
