Pushing the young crabs to dive down appears to increase survival. For some reason, in nature, the harder and stronger crabs try to stand on top of the younger crabs. This seems to me to be a suicidal act that is completely illogical. In the long run, however, the species of crabs that burrow under young crabs may have reduced their numbers.
I love spider crabs too, they just look so alien with their legs and body shape, I love their armor and how they eat and act. Weird its my favorite animal but I love them. Specifically the Japanese spider crabs with their incredibly long legs.
@@ghostlyblue5735 I had one as a pet. Her name was Karkinos I had her since she was a speck it was from a seaweed experiment I had her 2 years before she died I regret not releaseing her any crabs I usually had as soon as I could see them I took them back to the ocean. It REALLY hurt my heart cause she’d make these kinda idk purring noises or more like at first it sounded like something was cranking idk how to describe it. I think she wanted her own kind but she’d molt right out in the open . If I had seen THIS before I would of contacted a local diving place to take her back for me cause he literally video taped a molting spot. I think maybe she’d been ok. Idk they can live like 20 years so yea I wish I let her go. I mean her tank was cycled it was big I planned on getting bigger it was just hers and a stone crab. I would suggest just watching stuff like this. It’s been over a year and it still hearts my heart when I see molts or dead spider crabs at the beach. I still have her molts. I thought I’d have her forever. But I mean high site she should been in the ocean finding a mate.
@@ASurfgirl I'd keep those molts forever, they really are fascinating creatures. The name reminds me of ARK survival evolved, sounds nice. Have you had any other pets?
I am blown away by how effective that ray's mouth is at extracting all the meat from a crab so quickly!! What the heck kind of inner workings are going on inside that mouth?!
They could probably make a fortune selling these things...A lot of people would love to have the remote control & play with 1 of these.I'm sure more than a few kids would like to use 1 for a prank on the beach somewhere🤭.
@@giganerd6780 oh my.. i didnt notice its a robot!! (Small screen and watching at night is my excuse 😊). Thanks for pointing that out, I clearly noticed it after watching again :).
The larger the crab pile, the smaller its surface area relative to its volume. In other words, the number of crabs attacked by rays decreases as shown in the logarithmic graph. An amazing survival strategy.
I remember at about 9 or 10 years old. I had ate crab for the first time in my life and it was so delicious. But then shortly after I broke out in hives and discovered I was allergic to shellfish. I've never ate another crab, ever since then.
Video so clever it is worth watching and contemplating. How did they achieve the spy spider crab? Camera lens is shown in a couple of frames but no clue if they somehow installed it in a living crab or did they build a drone crab? Either way the movement accuracy and picture quality are outstanding.
Can you hear the stories they will tell about that crazy crab who battled the Ray? Legendary🤯
All the spy 🦀 needs is a little superhero cape🤭.

Those with the greatest power... protect those without.
Crabs: Hey, I saw that guy helped the little one before. This is our turn to help him, whoever he is!
Omg I watched this whole video & only realized at the end that the protector crab was a robot 😭😭
Me too...*)))
I didn’t even realize it til I saw this comment 😅 I was like “woah, how’d they get that kind of photo age?” 😂🤦♀️
Same dude... I kept wondering why the hell they called it spy crab...😅
Ray be like: "I hate it when they bunch up like that."
"He can't eat all of us" 🦀🦀🦀
😂😂😂
Crabs, together, strong. 💪💪
I can also eat 50 crabs a day, but you wouldn't want to share the same swimming pool with me afterwards

I love this series its so unique and impressive. I hope this nature documentary clears up at the awards.🎉
Sons watching crabs again
It would be nice if they cleaned up for sure.
Why is learning about these crabs easier than whatever the hell I'm gonna be asked about at midterms

Imagine it’s your first day when you get that hard shell and you’re out there to face Sharkie thing.
Kudos to the camera guy who captured this detailed video 🔥
😅I just wonder how many times they got pinched by that army of 🦀 s.

Or the camera crab 🦀 😂

Evolved to suck the meat out of your skin. Well. Crabs meat out of their skin. Nobody likes bread crust anyway.
I'm sure you don’t wanna find out 😅
BBC: "A brief monument to teamwork."
Crabs: "Hey anybody know how to cook one of these things?"
Team work makes the dream work!
0:12 wow are those robot spider crabs?
0:28 look at its arms it has nails on it so it is a robot!
Oh, I just love the storytelling on this one. *chef's kiss*
Nature is incredible!

What is that robot doing? xD

Such beauty and intelligence,an amazing clip!
Must be a cool job to pilot robot crabs on the ocean floor, protect the horde and fight manta rays.
The view from the spy crab reminds me of the interior of that spaceship in the movie Nope when people were being folded into it
this is unbelievable yet so amazing!
I never knew crabs make this sounds😮
You mean "crunch"?

1:06 do you feel it now mr krabs
Omg I’m so proud of them for helping the spy crab
I'm kinda in the mood for crab legs now 😂🦀
Honey badgers of the sea. I cried. I laughed.
crabs are literally just hte best thing to ever exist
Stunning footage would love to know more about these spiny spider crabs
Holy wow, that is, no this is all so flippin' amazing to see! I had no idea crabs were like this, it's so neat!
this video is so nice, I watched it several times❤

yeah its about abou the lagirithmic graph! i hope the crabs thank it.
So smart analysis
DEPRESSING DONT WATCH
Cope
Wtf
he cant eat tasmanian giant crab
"makes short work of extracting meat from shell"
me at joes crab shack 4 beers in: "amateur."
how cute real crabs protecting a robot❤😂
The added crunching noises put in post were unnecessary
i love seeing them work together. i used to be into clams, and then into mussels, but now im so into crabs, their s tier lol
Do crabs think fish are flying
I didn't know, that sting ray is such a murderous creature.
Not a manta, its a stingray..
@@daviddeckers corrected, thanks :)
They have their come uppance, hammerheads love to eat rays.
Every creature is a murderous creature, hell I'd say humans are the most murderous if you look at it that way.
That's is different crubs. I love that.
Stingrays And Crabs Are Animals That Are Found In The Sea 🌊
THIS WAS FREAK'N AMAZING!!!
That spy crab went down in crab folklore are the most badass crab that ever walked the seabed.
I can almost hear the crabs yelling, "Shell-wall!"
What a touching scene
서로를 위하는 마음… 그걸 지켜보는 제가 더 뿌듯해요😊
Jordan peele took one look of this video and immediately got an idea for a movie
wait?... 50 a day?
How hungry are you? 50 crabs a day guy
Interesting TY!
Spy spider crab among us.
Good work
This just blows my mind!! WOW!!
Time for a crab rave
crabs got UFOed
He should've visited Bikini Bottom & said "Hello" to his brother that runs the Krusty Krab🤭.
Thanks for sharing
50 crabs a day. Now, I want to eat some sting ray.
Omg! The Sting Ray can’t have his MUKBANGS TONIGHT 😢😢😢😢😢😢
IT'S CALLED A KING CRAB NOW!!
Wow why did the death ray help the spy crab back on its feet, if we were to not take that as just a narrative thats a fun way to look at what happened
Great video. It does look like a all you can eat Buffet to a Ray.
never would have thought i'd have something in common with rays.
David Tennant 😍😁
Ironic seeing this after hearing the phrase “crab mentality” all my life.
Awesome 👌
It’s like Nope. But with crabs
Guess what just fell onto our dinner plate, John? Scorpion and frog. 😋
I didn’t realize sting rays were such terrifying monsters
👀Interested programme 👍Thank you.🌻
David Tennant?
I keep trying to search who is the Scotsman doing this narration. It doesn't come up. For a second, I thought Alan Cummings, but you might be right
You were right!
Funny that they don't list it in credits, but it can be found under the actor's wiki page
His real accent. His name is a stage name, his real name is a Scots surname, look up his biography. ♥️
" i never really was on your side"
All I wanted to do was show my 18mo what a crab was and this was the first one😂well he also got a lesson in the circle of life
New fear unlocked
Crab vs. Shrimp 😮😮😮
I surprised Dreamworld, Pixar or Disney not making a similar concept movie out of this
1:09 were they making the crab wave to the camera? lol
NOO MR.KRAB
I've never seen a stingray eat before, I now wish to unsee it.
I remember at about 9 or 10 years old. I had ate crab for the first time in my life and it was so delicious. But then shortly after I broke out in hives and discovered I was allergic to shellfish. I've never ate another crab, ever since then.
Good thing you’re not a stingray
A living citadel? I think you mean citashell!
Incredible i never seen so many crabs 🦀
