[@RamadaArtist]

@@houselightkell "Do ALL birds have pneumatized bones?" Per the Wikipedia page for "bird anatomy," no. And I quote: " Penguins, loons,[2] and puffins are without pneumatized bones entirely.[3][4] Flightless birds, such as ostriches and emus, have pneumatized femurs[5] and, in the case of the emu, pneumatized cervical vertebrae.[6]" For most birds, the hollow spaces in their bones actually hold air that is used for respiration, (and avian respiration is apparently complicated in a way that I haven't sufficiently studied yet, so all I can tell you is that it's this way for some reason that helps them breathe.) Important in the case of domestic chickens in particular, is that they are not descended from flightless birds. Wild chickens are capable of flight, and even domesticated chickens, left entirely to their own devices, will happily climb trees and shit, so they're rather vertically capable even if they can't manage proper flight. Not much at all like a penguin or ostrich. (And hollow-boned farm fowl just makes sense anyway, because it means they are converting fewer nutritional resources into parts of the animal that we can't eat anyway.)

The reason the measurements with the grip sensor capped out at 30 kg was because the bar you made prevented the grips from moving as far as they normally would, meaning that any additional force supplied by the crab was counteracted by the normal force of the sensor and metal bar.

For those who are curious: the 740lb number comes from the strongest pinch scientists recorded off a coconut crab. A crab can, on average, pinch up to 20 times their weight. The number may vary wildly too.

[@Amphibax]

[@PartyItUp4Ever]

it seems like a faulty measurement. He modified the grip scale and I think because the range of motion on the scale was lessened, it couldn't be squeezed as hard.

@@PartyItUp4EverMud crabs are not as powerful as Coconut crabs and 30kg seems about right.

Since it wasnt stated in the video I wanted to mention that not all crabs have the same strength in both claws. The mudcrabs claws here in the video appear to be similar, but other varients of crabs have whats called (for lack of a better name at the moment) the pincer claw, and the choppy claw. They have one claw specifically for holding and moving things such as rocks, shells, and wood including an attacker which is typically their skinny claw, and the other claw that's generally larger and stronger is used to break sticks, harm enemies and destroy prey such as other crabs legs, and in the case you were hoping for would be unsuspecting toes and fingers. Im not a crab specialist or marine biologist, but I hope this information helps some curious comment readers.
