Leon Finds The Missing Crab

Leon finds the 4th missing crab, visits a cool old movie location, Big Little Crab has a meltdown, and lots of other fun stuff in this episode.

[@Bradybrandwood]

Awesome! Thank you for checking out his journey. ✌️✌️✌️

[@jameslanning8405]

I'm no expert on lobsters, but I bet Leon would love having a 'lobster house,' to stay under, when he's not out patrolling his turf. Maybe a starfish or two now, to control the aneminey, so they don't overpopulate the tank. I'm thinking 'Big-Little crab,' is becoming territorial. He's got his spot, his rocks, his hole... "Stay away!"

[@PghRN]

I was wondering what might keep the anemone population from getting out of hand. Love the starfish idea! Need two since they live in family groups.

[@jameslanning8405]

@@PghRN I'm just thinking that if you get too many starfish, then their food supply will end really fast! And I'd research just which stars would suit the environment of an aquarium. Stars seem to be good at 'populating. And having a good food supply will give them good reason to do just that! Thing is, you don't want to get any stars that might eat crabs, glass shrimp or 'lobster!' Good luck!

[@Mothobius]

@@jameslanning8405 only certain stars eat anemones. The average sea star you buy probably will eat shrimp,fish, and snails etc.

[@McKeelix]

In regards to the roadkill purses, I know that the lead taxidermist at the Los Angeles Natural History Museum got his start working with roadkill pelts as a teenager, much to his mother's dismay. I'd say it's just as valid a way to find dead animals as anything else.

[@RustBot42]

Yeah, many leather tanners buy skins from the meat industry, since those skins are otherwise just tossed on a pile and burned. If the animal has to die either way, we can at least have the decency to take care of as much of its body as possible, and not waste it. It's all about making use of what's already there and nobody else would use.

[@archerygirl_ab]

It looks like it's some form of grooming, which I imagine is extra important in the ocean where plants and animals can literally just start growing on you xD Lobsters just don't quite have the dexterity that we have, so they have to improvise :P

We have a Jet, too! He approached me in a hotel parking lot, meowing & soaked from rain. I put him in the car where he fell asleep immediately. He didn't have a chip, was intact, & had lots of parasites. The plan was to vet him & find him a home. However, my husband became attached to him. He also bonded with one of our other cats, Governor Booper...so seven cats it is. Love your videos!

Would I refer to Leon and the shrimp as animals? Anyone, please let me know. Love to all for supporting this channel.

[@sarahmonte1069]

Yep! Scientifically, all living things can be classified as either plants or animals, so if they're not plants, they're definitely animals! 😊 And on the cellular level, they would have round animal cells rather than the rectangular plant cells. So you are absolutely right to call them animals.

[@4nn4h]

Hey, I saw that same spot where Smokey and the Bandit were filmed on another channel I follow called Twinstick Garage, he built a Smokey and the Bandit truck, now working on the Trans am, Bandit One. He didn't go in the store though! What a cool place! Glad you found the little crab! As for grumpy crab, it reminded me of that character on Seinfeld, if you've ever seen that. He had a restaurant.

It is so wonderful to see an update about Leon and all of his house mates. Everyone of them is a welcome sighted! I'm so glad the tiniest little crab found a good spot to hide in while you were cleaning Leons tank! What a smart little crab! I'm so glad that nothing happened to him! And it does my heart so much good to see a new Leon video up and see that everyone, grumpy crab included, is just doing so great! And getting along, for the most part! I'm sure everyone has had their grumpy crab moments, but he still doesn't go around picking fights. He battles the rings because they messed with him first! But he is alive and doing crab stuff, as are all of the animals in and around the tank! The rescue cats are all looking so good. And even momma cat. I'm so glad. Thank you and Bless you, for all of your amazing acts of kindness that you have shown to all of God's creatures both great and small! You are an amazing man and I'm so glad that I first tuned into Leons story, and have been an avid fan ever since! Thanks Brady!❤
