Leon Gets Evicted!

leonthelobster.myshopify.com
This episode is all about Leon... Brady takes Leon out of his aquarium, cleans it, and measures and weighs Leon to see how much he's grown since being rescued from the grocery store.

[@thehorrorhunter]

This is the first Leon video since my dad died.he wasn’t an online person but when I found this channel and the first video posted on Leon I thought it was amazing that a grocery store lobster was saved.I should the video to my dad and he fell in love with Leon and his story.every time a new post about Leon came out he was so stoked to see how the little guy was doing.anyway just wanted to say thank you to you and Leon for putting a smile on my dads face that means the world to me thank you.

Try studying consciousness even just a little, there's no reality where a creature is happy in captivity separate from others. Why you feel the need to defend it is puzzling and slightly concerning. You've decided to stick up for captivity to such an extent that you need to send a stranger a comment like "Nice bait though" in order to get a rise from them.

[@saraross8396]

I forget which species of crab it is, but when it's time to molt, they gather together in great numbers. They then take turns shedding to protect each other. Those with stronger shells are on top, while those who just shed or are in the process of doing so are on the bottom of the pile. It could very well be protection on the part of the larger crab.

They come in a wide variety of colors and patterns and can change over time with sheds. Even some dramatic patterns like two different colors/patterns split down the middle.

[@SusanFourtane]

❤ Wow! That interaction between the small crab going to the big crab looking for safety and the big crab protecting the small crab with his claws is really amazing. It teaches so much about the species and that they also have feelings and reactions. The small crab obviously felt threatened and was scared and looking for the big crab for safety was adorable.

[@matthewk4245]

I'm not sure it was actually protecting the small Crab. It raised and open its claws when it saw the small Crab approaching, which makes me think it was actually preparing to defend itself. However, it didn't attack the small Crab when it hid under it, which I find odd. Most crabs are highly defensive and would attack another Crab that got too close.

[@TheSonicFairy]

"DADDY THAT OTHER CRAB BULLIES ME 😭" "Ok little one, papa will protect you"

[@justinwatson1510]

It doesn't hurt to look at them that way, but it is worth remembering that thoughts and feelings are mediated by hormones, neurotransmitters, and patterns of synaptic connections. The anatomy and physiology of a crustacean's nervous system is so drastically different from our own that we can do ourselves (and them) a disservice by projecting our own desires and motivations onto them. I'm not sure how much effort crabs even invest into their young once hatched, but I doubt it is very much so I would be genuinely shocked by a parent/child relationship like that. I know there are animals with sexual dimorphism that has one sex being significantly larger than the other, so maybe the big crab was protecting its supply of sperm or eggs if it was protecting at all.

[@rosestar7078]

Shore crabs hide under rocks when they are scared. The bigger crab probably looked like a rock at first glance, so the little one went to hide under it. The larger one may have not attacked because was keeping an eye on the human (the bigger threat).

[@charlottetill3205]

many are not taken care of with interest and love, neither do they usually have the benefit of being the sole focus of their caretakers, often resulting in wrong sized equipments and maybe lack of specialized saltwater equipment. many simply bypass a water chiller due to costs. or forgets to check up on the salt ballance in the tank regularly(once per day) saltwater can be hard to keep running in itself, add such a big impressive species as a lobster and most give up pretty fast.

@@inquisitorwalmarius6650 I can agree to an extent. I grew up lobster fishing (trapping) in Maine and have heard of conservation efforts to keep lobsters in captivity and to help them reproduce in order to restock the waters, like a fish farm.

@@MikeR65 There's no magic to human personalities, they're as much a product of evolutionary biology as any other animal's, we just happen to have more complex ones as a result of our more complex brains, and we often delude ourselves into thinking that our personalities are somehow metaphysically different from our instincts. Conscious thought is an instinct, just a more complex one than the subconscious "monkey see, monkey do" responses that we usually associate with the term 'instinct'. Now, where we draw the line of acceptable callousness is subjective, as we too need to consume other life forms in order to survive, whether flora, fauna or fungi; so you're free to tell yourself whatever you need to for the sake of your own peace of mind.

These creatures are so lucky to have fallen into your care. It’s nice the way you pay attention to ways you can improve the quality of life at all times.

theres something very fun about giving something that wasn't meant to be a pet the full pet lifestyle, compete with some fancy roommates. love how big and strong leon has gotten. what a guy

[@jpendowski7503]

The photography of Leon, the shrimp, crabs and the cats is exemplary. Having beautiful documentation of these magnificent creatures is a gift you have shared Brady.

Brady I continue to be astonished with your care and compassion for all your creatures.... Especially LEON! The selection of music, the close-up photography, and technical knowledge of the needs of each is impressive.... And a learning experience for us .. Many THANKS. I do enjoy your "side trips" as well. Looking forward to your next episodes. LEON LOVE🦞

[@coolcat8b]

I know why Leon's growth is so impressive: it's because he's pampered, and fed good foods, and kept in a well maintained tank. I'm sure Jett and all the other pensionners will fare just as well. It's always a pleasure, when I see a new video in my Subscribed feed. Thank you for all you do Brady!

[@kiko7247]

Wow, Leon is getting bigger and bigger. Anabolic Leon, the body builder lobster. Jokes aside, you're doing an amazing job taking care of Leon & co and sharing your knowledge. The crab duo was really something, no doubt the smaller seeks protection from the bigger. I am glad that Jett is feeling good. Can't wait for the upcoming videos

I once loved steak and lobster,,but then I found out that they mate for life,with the same partner.Just like bald eagles do. Thank you for saving Leon.

I stopped eating lobster when I found out they boil them alive. Now, I know I made the right decision. Thanks, Brady, for the enlightenment.🎉

Two years ago I had just had my first baby, who I called Leon. A few days after his birth when we had come home from hospital your first Leon video popped up. Ive always been fascinated by lobsters, such strsnge alien creatures I was curious to see what one would be like as a pet. When you called him Leon I was so surprised, what a coincidence! I've loved following the growth of your lovely lobster ever since. What a joy to watch two totally different Leon's grow over the years. Keep up the good work Brady, he is looking healthier and more beautiful as the years go by, and hes gained an impressive amount of weight!

[@marysoldeeley2218]

Where has the time gone?! It seems like just a few month ago you got Leon.... You have done so good by him and all the rescues! Thanks for taking us along on the journey! Looking forward to some exploring!!

Leon’s blue legs look incredible! I can’t believe how big & fluffy Jett has gotten, too!! So much love is in your home. ❤️❤️

[@ghostathan]

Leon's so huge now! and so are the kitties! Who knew Jet would become a gorgeous long hair? When the little crab hid under the big one, it sure did seem like a parent and child situation. Though more likely, the little one probably thought the big one was a rock and the big one's too confused to take any offensive action towards it. You've made a fascinating world for yourself, Brady! I have seen the stolen leon designs, unfortunately. All the more reason to share this channel so all lobster lovers know they can support you and Leon instead!

It's amazing how pissed Leon looked when you put him in the blue bucket. I didn't realise lobsters have such a big range of emotions that can be shown on their face. You can clearly see when he is happy or curious or afraid or now pissed.
