Please, for the love of God, share the footage the actual hermit crab got after he stole the spy shell!

[@joeybulford5266]

Yea! It’d be like putting a camera on your cat! I want to see their adventures

[@Drtechnology2006]

Yes we want to know what happened to the shell when the spy crab lost his shell

[@DaPickleKing-bn8cz]

Yesssss!!!🥒🥒🥒🥒

[@Russia-bullies]

As the cam belong to the crab,you need its permission.😁

[@Cr0wned_Crow]

@@Russia-bullies Said camera was stolen so not really

[@MNM2884nick]

Crab had no shame robbing someone else that's insane

[@mscir]

Animals : might makes right, natural selection.

[@Splarkszter]

Survival of the fittest

[@GetToThePointAlready]

Why would it? The spy crab didn't even put up a fight lol

[@user-fy5by5xp7n]

Must be from the hood

[@littlepockets4959]

oh god thats awesome! Poor spy crab scooting with his bum showing. Had me cracking up

[@TeapotSnail]

I had a hermit crab a long time ago when I was younger. Whats crazy is I actually got to see him change shells. He picked out a shell which suited him (no conga line as he was the only crab), loned up the ideal shell to be facing him, and then, I kid you not, did a freaking summersault into the new shell.

[@AFloridaSon]

I've heard they do this, but I've never seen it until now, and I didn't expect it to be quite so organized. Very cool.

[@joeyginise6051]

There is a video of a guy who made armor for hermit crabs. Spiked metal shells.

[@thebirdhasbeencharged]

@@joeyginise6051 there is an ancient video where a crab gets his shell stolen after they line up just search that

[@Sybil_Detard]

I had no idea they did this shell swap. Thank you.

[@dracaggoreptile3059]

2:00 "Nice pants, imma take them."

[@BullShitThat]

We went from spy crabs, to crab spies with actual cameras in their shells

[@Alexei_xyz]

1:31 bro really said "NO MINE!"

[@rebajoe]

1:35 The little crab in the corner just watching the whole thing go down.

[@Freedom-ts5te]

@@rebajoeomg your right 😂

[@Avenlee.]

Nature is truly amazing. It was fun to see crabs having buyers remorse XD.

[@1beachwalker]

Too funny- poor spy cam crab! 😂 That was fascinating! Always wondered how they went about getting their shells. Thanks for doing all that you do, to open up the world of nature to us! 👏

[@muramasa1ea]

Did spy crab just got robbed of its home haha

[@animemusicluver1]

welp, spy crab has evolved 😂

[@QuiemRe]

I absolutely love hermit crabs. They are so interesting. And they live like humans. Please more of them!

[@brookiebrooke928]

Crab version of Poshmark 😂 buy, sell, trade your shells.

[@HillaryBTV]

*Lmao!!* 😂🤣

[@candynewton4945]

That is the most amazing thing I've seen in the hermit crab world. The camera eye in the shell is now going to have a real crab in it? How long will that camera work? And where will the robotic crab go? Thank you for sharing your talent. 🇺🇲

[@durratulaishah3703]

Hermit crab spy robot is so cute. Funny and sad tho he's naked at the end.

[@handbanana4899]

The hermit crab grindset doesn't sleep, neither does the hermit crab.

[@akumiset]

The little babies attached to their mommas.

[@Alexei_xyz]

It's really beautiful how nature works even they Queue for Shell swap❤️

[@america2793]

Spy crab RTX be like:

[@timbo7188]

Fascinating social structure . Crab etiquette .

[@hunterhq295]

Maybe they should make more spy shells for hermit crabs

[@Russia-bullies]

Fake crab:”You can have my shell.Just let me have my cam.”😁

[@therealzilch]

An amazingly efficient and intelligent adaptation.

[@Alexei_xyz]

That's why people call Shellfish (Selfish) for being mean because of shellfish Crabs😮

[@zeehighness9310]

You don’t have to get so crabby 🐚

[@mau8772]

Que incrível! Nunca tinha visto isso, achava que o casco crescia junto com eles

[@tag5618]

I hope the spy robot eventually got a replacement shell, I feel so bad lol 😂

[@I_Kan]

Daylight robbery!! Looooooool 😂

[@TheWolfSharp]

Incredible, thank you so much for the video.

[@JohnDownerProd]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching.

[@YungMinion54]

I loved seeing these little critters spies it reminds me of my childhood when I saw this channel I loved this channel.

[@Misto_deVito6009]

That was funny but cruel of that other crab

[@AlotusNine]

Adorable

[@susanwoodcarver]

Congratulations!

[@jamesmiddlemiss4224]

Can a sterilized robotic hermit crab or other small creature be put on North Sentinel Island?

[@jeru_jj1161]

Imagine how unique the footage can ne, the possibilities!

[@akumiset]

"Pleasure doing business with you!"

[@TrueCrimeQueen]

Crabs are so fascinating ❤

[@deborahbriskie4330]

Thanks for sharing ❤ it. 🙂

[@ShawnMiller]

Love the footage. Please let me know if you ever make it out to Okinawa.

[@heartwellroots5365]

Hoh! *Snooorrt* Hohohohoh!

[@1.4142]

[@Billy426.]

And worst of all it could be anyone of us

😘😘😘😙🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤me encanta el video

[@jiado6893]

“A star has been added.”

[@movieloverfan18]

I doubt they let that crab keep the shell. Mini cameras cost money to replace.

[@mscir]

These creatures look like something a computer program generated.

[@MaisieTheBlindHen]

Too cute ❤😊❤

[@ravensquote7206]

Humans robbing a house: *takes a console, some jewelry, maybe a TV* Hermit crabs robbing a house: *takes the house and walks off*

[@dunneemofozilla5718]

And so spycrab went off to perve on lobsters instead

[@saidtorres3]

Vote for the Crab 🦀☑

[@sriharshacv7760]

How does the footage look when viewed from the spy camera? Do you have another channel that captures that?

[@onazram1]

OMG this is hilarious!

[@user-fy5by5xp7n]

That crab is from the hood!!!!

[@EANGKONTHEA]

I like your video ❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@bobhoward6676]

[@TheTwistedTraceur]

[@donnish3326]

For a good price I know how to find that crab and get that shit back if you want.

[@hemantabailung]

𝙇𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨😂😂😂 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙮

[@Shedgie]

I always wondered how they knew who was bigger or smaller obviously some are more obvious then others but for the ones in the middle I feel its more complicated

[@trainson7]

it's free real estate

[@rkanava7245]

*Your houses are belong to us!*

[@drowningpooralice5505]

Soooo, why not just put the empty shell on the beach and get the footage that way?

[@ZCX77009]

this should become anime

[@vyperspit]

Reminds me of an episode of Spongebob Squarepants.

[@pathfinder9401]

This reminds me of pikmin 😅

[@iammtv]
