Excellent! I'm a crab biologist and never saw the male-male interaction before. I have seen an amazing sight, a male waving his claw while all the others scurried away, and then he was grabbed and eaten by a yellow-crowned night heron. I actually screamed.

Very well done, thank you to the producers!

I live in NJ. As a kid, I remember my dad having two loads of fiddler crabs for fishing for a trip he could not make due to work. He did not want to kill them, so he took them to a local creek. I was 10, by the time I was 15, this location that never had fid's was teaming with them, and we never had to buy them again. I thought this was cool as a kid, now I realize, he upset the Eco balance! Dad's gone and I love him, but education if KEY!!!!

Could have been a bird dropping some crabs. Don't feel bad. Your dad created an immigrant crab community❤
