When a species evolves from living in water to living on land it’s called terrestrialization, and it’s not an easy task. Yet crabs keep making the jump from sea to shore. Why? And how do they do it?

Gods of Science - The Coup
@The Hondo It’s a gimmick. Notice how they don’t play any samples of the music in the incorporated ad for fear of the sponsor demonetizing the video and stealing the ad revenue back.
I would be very interested to see this develop over the next million years.
I don't know what is more fascinating. Crabs turning to land animals or people out there existing that make music for scientists.
That album is absolute ear cancer.
"Thankfully, crabs are not whales, as you may have noticed."
It's only a matter of time before they master fire.
Some lady killed Herbert the crab. A crab with no legs because you didn’t make this video a year earlier. She fed Herbert cat food, and made him celebrate Christmas and tried to get him to love America. 😒
"Why do things keep turning into crabs?" "Why do crabs keep turning into land animals?" "Why do crabs keep starting to care for their young?" "Why do crabs keep becoming literate?" "Why do crabs keep getting elected to positions of power?" "Why do crabs keep enslaving primates?" "Why do crabs keep going to space?" "Why do crabs keep colonizing other planets?"
Guys have you heard of the spider?
Giant enemy crab
crab :D
PBS eons: WHY DO THINGS KEEP TURNING INTO CRABS? Sci Show: Crabs keep turning into land animals! ah... the cycle of life
I haven't watched this channel in like 4 years and I'm just wondering when Michael became a samurai
id like to think crabs are going to become the new ants, just a bit larger
3.45 you had the perfect moment to say Krabby Pattie and you blew it
Hmm, brood care in crabs may be a start of becoming super intelligent. If they live long enough, and pass down skills and knowledge, it would be possible I guess.
what are you wearing? a jacket? a sweater? a shirt? I'm intrigued.
Evolve to crab.
Your intonation and pronunciation is just like the other guy! Who did it first?
I'm mesmerized by this dude's hair
🙄
🙄 nope when I picture crabs I picture your mama. And what a wonderful woman she is taking care of all those little baby crabs and treating them better than she ever taught you. Love is Blind love is cruel. But no matter what your mama always loved you and everybody else😐🤷♂️
Cuddly Danzig is my new favorite.
I love puns, but the delivery of that crabcake pun was shameful and painful.
World superpower history.. Huns... Romans... British... Russians... Americans... Future: Chinese... Crabs.
Goddammit crabs, stay in your lane!!
CRAB PEOPLE CRAB PEOPLE LOOK LIKE CRAB TALK LIKE PEOPLE CRAB PEOPLE CRAB PEOPLE
The last video I watched said things keep evolving into crabs. This video says crabs keep changing into things. MAKE UP YOUR MIND ALfirst.
CRAB PEOPLE, CRAB PEOPLE. LOOK LIKE CRABS, TALK LIKE PEOPLE
i heard you fishes went crazy into going into land, am i too late to join? ... oh
Earth is slowly becoming Roshar
Every time he says "microbiome", i think of poop aenemas in South Park.
Things turn to crabs, crabs turn to other things.
0:46 umm that's obvious, *they want our money*
Our ancestors--fish--became land animals--why not crabs?
6:35 that's a scary picture
Crab people will soon be part of our society. Maybe they will bring the end of discrimination.
Why do six legged animals never grow past small sizes though? Everything is becoming crabs, but all the big stuff has 4 effective limbs, not 2. Where my centaur at?
South park predicted this
Things keep becoming crabs, crabs keep evolving into land animals. Its not too hard to imagine that an alien planet where terrifying crab based abominations rule the land and sea
If you see a horrid beast evolving: push it back in
“So their lungs aren’t entirely new organs but heavy modification on things that were already there”... like how new organs are formed? I mean we all know the spleen didn’t just miraculously appear one day, it was some other organ until it’s purpose changed and it became the spleen... obviously this happened long before we were humans but that is how organs come about, something that wasn’t this thing, slowly adapts until it’s no longer what it was but something new instead.
I don't know what life will look like on other planets, but I'm sure it'll have crabs
People....we have crabs.
Crab people... Crab people. Taste like crab... Talk like people...
Reject monke. *_Time for crab._*
I wonder what Dr zoidberg insides look like Whoop whoop whoop whoop🦑🐙
Reject crab, return to land
Soon there will be crab people.
Things keep evolving into crabs and crabs keep turning into land animals. Therefore, things keep turning into land animals.
good morning, England here, what you call rollie pollies we call woodlice, peace out.
Evolve to crab Abandon water
if a octopi could cross breed with a coconut crab you would see the rise of a new sentient species within a couple short generations...
0:31 I heard they've been known to live in bushes too! Lol
The thing about crabs making their way onto land is that eventually they could become giant and then they'd become our enemies and then we'd be forced to attack their weak points for massive damage.
I swear I expected that bit at 3:00 to be "Thankfully, crabs are not whales...yet." I mean, it's totally gonna happen. When whales turn into crabs, and into land animals, they'll basically be beach balls.
What's with the coat?
crab people crab people
We gonna make a caveman crab now
Brandon Sanderson would like to know your location🤣
When we look at a crab we don't tend to say "oh you're a smart little boy, aren't you?" However, we should consider that our own ancestors (the ones we have in common with dinosaurs, wombats and hippos) probably weren't that bright either. One day we'll be gone and considering how things are going, we might take most other established species with us for good company. At that time would welcome the new crab overlords and wish them luck against the cepholapod empires of the inky-inky sea.
As long as Sharks don't turn into crabs and start breathing air , everything will be fine .
Yet again, crabs prove to be the ultimate lifeform
If everything keeps turning into crabs, then....
You made your choice crabs!!! Now live with it!
🦀 The ocean is gone! 🦀
oh when did scishow get steven seagal?
He's not mumbling in a low voice enough to be Steven Seagal.
Highly interesting and informative! Thanke you.
Craaaab people, craaaab people... 🦀
armpit breathing
The Bahamas.
Oh hell no, they are basically faster and bigger spiders
Everything wants to be a crab and crabs want to be vegan spiders is my takeaway. lol
What makes cancer tenacious? The moon rules the fluids Including the inner juices of human beings That which assimilates and feeds the body So the crab feeds his astral plane Assimilating and distributing all he receives Slowly, until it becomes a part of you
Abandon ocean go to land.
Sometime in the future, when all humans are gone, crabs will evolve and become the new humans of the world
Those crabs think they are better than us because they don't exhale out of the same hole they inhale from! We'll show them!
Crabs will take over when humanity is gone
Conclusion: Crabs are literally the highest form of existence.
The bromeliad crab is really fascinating. Wish there was more info about it online.
The land crab that uses snail shells to catch rain water is a fun one
any crab that lives to be 60 years old needs to be cast in the next sequel to catch me if you can
Craaaaaab peeeeople...craaab peeeople...
Can I just point out that crabs are intelligent enough to know that the pH level of water can be tweaked by adding a shell to it?.. Crabs are becoming chemists. We are gonna see crabs develop acid they can spray out at attackers one day strong enough to melt skin tissue.
Sorry, did he say they _breathe in through their walking legs?_ Oh, he did? Cool cool cool. No problem. Just making sure. 😳
where i live there is a bunch of crabs on the land
Holy crap crabs are awesome
Everyone: talking about crabs Me: why tf is this guy wearing a winter coat
Return to Monke + Advance to Crab = Tree Crab
Nice cut G
A note: Hermit crabs and Coconut crabs/Robber crabs are not true crabs.
My guess? They're tired of eating seafood.
*Crab comes to land* Crab: QUE THE RAVE!@
Reject humanity, evolve to crabbe
If everything evolves into crabs, and crabs keep turning into land animals... #TEAM_MAGMA_WAS_RIGHT
3:48 This kills the crab.
I'd want to get out of the ocean too, given it's current state.
CRAB PEOPLE
This guy sounds just like Hank…LOL
Oh there was one appearing in my garage. My house is nowhere near waterplace.
Is it me or is Michael turning into snape
Me and my guy need to start working out
Crabs are armored balloons, got it.
