Midwest Crayfish: How many Species can I Find?

[@Munchboxkid]

I enjoyed your video. My 7 year old did as well. He likes going to slate creek in Kentucky and the licking river.

Very interesting, excited to watch the rest of your trip and videos.

[@andrewhedger3872]

Very interesting video. Nice job! You are well educated in crayfish.

If you ever get a chance you should over to the Ozarks of Missouri. Wonderful biodiversity in the Ozark National Riverways

[@thedlftravels2277]

I would love to go out there sometime but it’s not on my immediate agenda. One of these days, I’ll definitely make it over

At 10:25, I think that’s the stair set that JAWS hit up

What species down not burrow ?

[@derrickhageman1969]

You should try crayfishing in Missouri but the true largest crayfish in the U.S. is the long pinchered crayfish they get big

[@jackgilbert6502]

Given well aerated and filtered water, crayfish can do well in aquariums. People often don’t take good care of them though

When are you dropping part 2?

[@thedlftravels2277]

Sorry got caught up with stuff but tomorrow

[@silicosisralphie8192]

What are some supposed evolutionary advantages to remolting into the sexually immature form after breeding? Does it make them less stinky to predators?

[@thedlftravels2277]

I’m not really sure what the evolutionary advantages are but I believe that trait is unique to the eastern North American family, the Cambaridae. The European and western North American family, the Astacidae, do not molt back and forth from form I to form II. I don’t know if the East Asian family, the Cambaroididae, do this.
