Crab Molts From Its Shell || ViralHog 

😂

This is what social media SHOULD be used for.

It should be in the sea, it would have found a place where it would be Safe, and done this, this is cruelty.

Amen

​@@agrajag868of course the clown comes in and spews crap like this."this is cruelty" get a grip.

@@Crownerasedin a way he’s not wrong. If they put it back in the water with no shell it’ll be eaten very quickly by a fish or other marine life because it’s not in a hole to protect itself. Also those orange slice looking things are his old gills and his new ones need the water so the crab is just suffocating and drying out.

bro is not Spider-Man

lol

L😆L. So accurate.

Skarner

Aw I love crabs!!!

Tierzoo moment

Crab is fish ? You are crab grabber or catcher or hunter 😊

​​​@@SandeepSingh-or7jr I believe they meant fishing as in catching 😅

Crabber

Soft shell crab and man we love them down here in Louisiana 😂

​@@OFFICALBREEMATIONSTATION This

It's the legendary Chris voiceman!

Big fan

That’s so refreshing ;)

I could use new lungs

Nintendo hire this crab

I believe this one

Lol

everything eventually become crabs

They are water bugs

🤣🤣😭

It's exausted

AND should be in the water!!! 😢

​@@cog-in-machinereally now?

@@ren2017 Well, yeah. This kind of crab has gills for a reason. XD

You cam say that again.. horrifying

Yes all that.

😂

​@@freddycookswhy ? It's nature

@PAC-MANCycles nature can be terrifying, can't it? Hurricanes, tsunamis, anacondas, let's not even think about digusting.

Crabs will normally seek a very secluded place due to how weak and exposed they are during and after this phase. This crab was likely terrified and even more likely died.

@@stadtjer689 Why do you think it died

​@@southtexasobserver3306 I don't think it died but I'm sure the giant standing close to him shining a bright light in its face in its very vulnerable position stressed the fk out of it.

It is especially vulnerable in the Chesapeake Bay region, because Marylanders love to fry these things.

And then some Koreans decided to make a stew out of them 😂😂😂

Once they molt, the new shell is almost empty if meat and very soft. It’s illegal to harvest“soft shell” dungies as there is no meat to consume.

Did you not watch Spongebob lol

Very alienesque! Remember the Alien movies? Scary! But awesome. Love Planet Earth and ALL it's inhabitants...❤❤❤❤...let us take care of it!

This was freakin cool!!

​@malekodesouza7255 I'm assuming people won't even know if they molted or not, fisherman gon fish and get crab.

Right like what's going on! 😮 This crab real comfortable around you....😂

Gross😮

I was thinking the same thing! 😂

I agreed.

The first time i watched this, on my phone, i was looking at it backwards and it confused me a little. Then i realized that the old shell was left in the front as it went out the back. I thought it was the other way around and i was wondering why the eyes were still moving in an empty shell.

@@derealized797 lol

Ya me to I haven't seen it I've heard about it but I thought it was a joke? Now I see 👀

Ive collected crab shells when diving in the mediteranean sea before, but never seen a molt in progress.

I never knew

So that chirping was the crab's doing?

I thought it was someone/thing behind the camera because I heard heavy breathing towards the end

I thought it was the sound of the molting process itself since it was a wet sound, but crabs do chirp so I guess it could be the crab.

Slurping not chirping

And he kept his hat

I was looking for this comment lol

You can if you get a circumcision

You will , but after death.

Maybe not from scratch but you can always move to a different town or country and start fresh.

Me too

@@Chinmaya_Mishra won't happen

Maltraitance animale😂

Maybe like a woman giving birth

​@@encoreuncontsss encore un con

I'm a video, and I've never seen a video molt before. Thanks for posting this crab!

😂

😂😂😂

😂😂😅

Having crabs and being one are two different things. 😋

The mysteries of our planet huh?

Same here.

Q: why do they do dat!?!

@@missj0924Because crabs grow but their shell doesn’t, so at some point they have to basically get out of it because they’re getting to big to stay inside of it.

@@ThePlasticBowl 😲 . Sea creatures are amazing! Thx

What's really alien bout octopus is how they can solve complex problems that'r on a young humans education level! An the fact that NOT A SINGLE strand of their DNA, literally not 1, is shared by any other creature, both past or presently living, on earth!!

Yea it was freaky with alien form but at the same time interesting to watch. Even to hear the noises it made.

Watch how slugs mate

unfortunately, I heard molten crabs are even more delicious than their normal state

@@caesar5588 From what I’ve heard these days, aqua culture just keeps softshell crabs have soft shells with hormone treatments, preventing their shells from growing tough

Oy!

​@@damdumps3566Right, because molting crabs *never* survive. 🤦🏼‍♀️🙄

@damdumps3566 This is what everyone wants to know - what happened next!

Really vulnerable. Not real vulnerable

If you watched SpongeBob you'll know. There is an episode where Mr. Crabs molt.

I've heard but thought it was because they were blowing bubbles or it was pressure from being cooked. It makes you not want to catch them

​@@blanketmobbypantsI can't imagine anyone wants to catch crabs...

​@@BerryNiceToMeetYou 😂

@@blanketmobbypantsCooked?

@@sandramays795 stop. You know what I mean

This is actually how they regrow their limbs inclusing claws. They have to molt so that the new arms can take place. In fact, this is the method for softshell crab farming. They cut the claws, forcing the crab to molt, then they catch it while their shell is still soft.

​@@secondsein7749 Huh, very interesting... I figured a softshell crab was just a freshly molted one. Interesting tactic.

How long does it take for their new shell to harden? Just wondering how long they are vulnerable to enemies.

I grew up in St. Mary’s County - I’ve never seen it either.

Who cares

​@@Kindalive0812 I do

Washington County MD here!

​@@Kindalive0812I care

The little dude is way too soft at this point, you can even see the pincers folding like a fish

Yeah he can't even walk at that moment

This is the moment they are most frequently predated. It's a necessary gamble they take that their hiding spot is secluded enough.

This is what I was wondering about. Thank you! ❤️

But it seems he kept the same shell??

My thoughts exactly

i'm sorry, i got distracted and the typo is a bit funny. nice info tho.

@@cassky3736 so you mean crap when it’s supposed to be crab. Thank you. It’s still my second language. I will correct it.

This is how restaurants get blue crabs

Yes, I want to thank him too. But wouldn’t it be a good idea to cook the crab right after this process?? You would get 100% of the meet out of this crab. 🤔

@@-TheMaskedMan- lol if you put it that way then absolutely bahahahaha you cray!

​

@@-TheMaskedMan-Remember to be humane and kill the crab first before cooking. Friendly reminder

Actually this is how fried soft shell crab is made on poboys. The molt

I feel the same way too...what a poor little thing 😢

Good. I wish more people felt that way ❤🦀

More for me!

Oh no ☹ I was wondering if they typically molt underwater. I hope the crab was okay and the camera person properly helped it along its way

I only know from that one episode of SpongeBob lmfao

​@@sentinal_entityWhat does it say?

@@markmontes007 It was really just a episode focused around Mr. Krabs molting and nude humor transpiring around that

@@sentinal_entity haha!

So soon after a molt, the carapace is very soft. That crab will need to hide until it hardens up again.

GOD'S Design of Nature NEVER ceases to Amaze Me✌💯❤

More like Father God

​@@kentelley4589exactly

​@@kentelley4589Yes! Really gotta give props to ol' Poseidon for this one!

What is that blue substance

😂😂😂

They could do and they NEED in order to survive, bc they become bigger and don't fit into the exoskeleton anymore.

​@@JohnRome-xn7hxhow do they get another exoskeleton?

No es repugnante es hermoso.

I couldn't figure it out myself & you helped me understand which side was left behind. Thank you!❤

I was amazed by the fact that it can regrow also some of its organs. Imagine with that capability alone with humans millions would be saved from lung cancer, pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc. yearly.

That's exactly what i thought at first, it had me all confused. I was wondering why the eyes were moving in an empty shell... it all looked so wrong. That's when my eyes finally saw it the right way.

Yes!! It took me a full minute to understand that the living crab wasn't the one toward us! I was horrified because I saw the eyes moving on what I thought were the remains, and it also looked like it didn't have a roof and that the internal organs were pulsing!! The crab legs seems very soft (which seems necessary to squeeze out of the previous shell) but I wonder how much time it takes for everything to harden. It must be a very vulnerable situation for the individual Edit : just saw another comment that said it takes weeks

добрый?0 он сожмет тебя, как плоскогубцы, если ты подержишь

I think you meant "molted".

​@@blaedus5318they definitely meant melted 😢

@@Kii230you mean molted

With some butter, yes ma'am! ❤😊❤

​@@arielvega6344😂😂😂 I'm dead over here 🎉
