I don’t get why they even do it, other than as a joke. They clearly have other cameras there to film the spy robot, so they obviously don’t need a ‘spy’ to blend in with the animals to be able to film them. Just seems like a silly gimmick really

@@philcorrigan5641it allows them to much more easily see animals social interactions as the actual cameras have to be hidden whereas these don’t

They dont feel stuff like pain, fear or happiness. They are brainless, nerveless, instinct driven beings.

Its funny to think of that analogy and then now see why it is that crabs do that. Not so much to hold each other down, but it does seem like a survival instinct to protect and latch together. It’s almost like the ones that are smart enough to try and get out of the bucket, problem solvers, are the least able to reproduce. Much like our society?

It was heartwarming , I will enjoy my crabs legs for dinner tonight much more now

I couldn't agree more. The loyalty and empathy shown by the crab community is truly remarkable. It's inspiring to witness how they come together to protect their own and increase their chances of survival. This kind of behavior serves as a reminder of the importance of looking out for one another, whether it be in human or animal communities.

Its like people make money donation for people distant away from natural disasters. Humans also do this. But of course there are also many bad humans out there.

🏆 Top Comment Award 🏆

They can be. That's what killed Steve Irwin.

The logic for it is sound: all crabs as they grow need to shed their shells to grow a bigger one beneath it. This time you are the hard shelled one but next week after you shed your own shell you need those neighbours to protect you so if you protect them now they will have your back later. No one can be strong all the time we all need some help every now and again.

the strongest take care of themselves, the strongest take care of others

@@simonwahlen7150 But then the crab that gets protection and provides none gets all the benefits and no risks, which would then be the stable evolutionary strategy. For reciprocity to happen it is required that individuals are able to identify each other and penalize those that do not reciprocate, and I don't think this is the case. The other alternative, altruism, should only happen when close kin, since they share most genes.

@@ronin1648 That wouldn't be a stable evolutionary strategy, if the crab passes on that trait to his offspring and his offspring pass that on to theirs eventually the crabs that don't protect would outnumber the ones who do. The crabs who do protect would find their numbers diminishing as more and more crabs seem to not care about protecting one another. Soon enough there are no crabs willing to protect each other - the ones who did have since died. That leads to extinction or a servere drop off in population. Doing what you suggest only leads to small short term gain but dooms their species.

@@awawawacm7120 no, that's a common mistake, natural selection is about the differential survival of competing genes, looking at it at the species level is the wrong level of abstraction

It's possible that the stingray was able to recognize the threat posed by the spy robot, which the other creatures were not able to do. This highlights the importance of paying attention to our instincts and being aware of potential threats, even when others around us may not see them.

It knew that the spy has already breached their defenses

Seemed the ray just wanted to eat it, nothing seemed special about its response to the spy crab

The spy robot does look larger in general than the crabs around it, it doesn't move it's claws around to attack like a real crab, and I don't think it was fleeing like a real crab. So to the sting ray it may have looked like a big crab that was too stupid to fight back and would thus make an easy meal. Then when it tried eating it, it found out it didn't have any meat in it and was too tough to crack.
