I never knew crabs could jump so well or that eels could come out of the water! Great cinematography!

I knew octopus could crawl in land, had no idea this eel could and now that I see how these crabs do their do, my sally lightfoot crab figurine I can look with new eyes on knowing what it can do by jumping.
