2:01 Are you feeling it now Mr. Krabs?

[@Mindofthequill]

Those canines. I can only imagine what having canines that large must feel like, you'd think they'd get in the way at times haha

[@Tracydot3]

I live in Hua Hin, Thailand and just saw hundreds of long-tailed macaque at the viewpoint nearby. I also saw some macaques hanging out under a seafood restaurant by the beach and was surprised since there isn''t a jungle nearby. They are very adaptable.

[@Omnipotent-C]

I've watched and studied macaques for over a year now and this is the first time I've seen them use tools. So cool!

[@Josh-hr5mc]

A mammal will adapt if it needs too

[@SchnitzelDeluxe]

I'd love to see Thailand 🌱

[@Blablablarandomguy]

Mmm crabs. Who doesn't like fresh seafood?

[@spinoraptor35]

I love seafood

[@danfortin8429]

VERY funny ending scene! You will laugh.

[@paulhall1239]

These monkeys are so smart it really is amazing.

[@user-gu1jk4qn6b]

Best clip I've seen in ages.

[@pranavaditya7489]

i am a makak and i love it

[@KatherineUribe-1]

I heard somewhere that it was the addition of seafood into the diet that promoted greater thinking abilities in primitive man. I wonder if this group of monkeys is being affected. No matter what, they are adorable, and watching them using tools to get the barnacles is fascinating.

[@TheEathor]

+Katherine Uribe Where have you heard that? I've always read it was probably beacuse of fried meat.

[@VideoSkaparnaSwe]

+TheEathor Fried meat? Dont think they could fry things back then bud :P

[@SeanStrife]

+Videoskaparna ‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪ I think, in this instance, fried means "cooked", not deep fat fried.

[@TheEathor]

Videoskaparna ‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪‪ Yes, that's exactly what I meant: "cooked". Lost in translation ;)

[@SeanStrife]

TheEathor Luckily I was here to clear up the misunderstanding. :)

[@jordanphommahaxay8123]

They look yum

[@chipcray9791]

look, amazing, healthy sized monkeys, compared to those ones in the citys, the city monkeys are like 4 of those real wild ones XD

[@theflipflapchannelcreatedb8160]

Places that involve on jungles and tropical rainforest beaches as well as seaside shores like this, especially ones with primates are a classic example of human evolution and prehistory. That's also why that tropical climates are very prehistoric, commonly associating with dinosaurs and human evolution.

[@edntz]

Hunting crabs would be easier if they used the same rock for smashing barnacles.

[@zimtak6418]

Yes, I was surprised they didn't use rocks on the crabs too.

[@bakheg6153]

They eat mussel, crab,shell, abolone , snail and fishes and vegetables and fruits.twists

[@LukaSea]

3:00 me, when i try to catch a crab

[@Ferdinand..]

That's pure protein. Now, their brain size will grow.

[@Greg-qm5wj]

Nat geo should plant different fruit for the monkeys so they can discover the fruit and belike “Mmmmm that’s some yummy fruit”

[@kerryhughes5372]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤how Wonderful Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@princessyoung8791]

This is how monkey's needs to to be. In the wild living like monkey's. I hate to see them treated like humen kids.

[@judeahbelizaire9692]

Some of them are rescues just saying

[@demixoxo7950]

I feel so sorry for Mr krabs 😪

[@crackpot1206]

Demi xoxo stfu lol

[@asrevilla1]

Sure! Why those atrocious macaques couldn't go vegan?! 🤨

[@The_DC_Kid]

I've been to tide pools on warm days, and the idea of eating things found there is more repulsive than the thought of dumpster diving. Wild animals got it ROUGH.

[@CrabyCooking]

Be careful of eating mollusks like clams,oysters and mussels are dangerous to eat if they were living in warm waters the dangerous bacteria and parasites may harm you i recomend to eat them in winter and cold seasons 😊

[@brendengoldman2067]

clams oysters lobsters and crabs are served in high-end restaurants.

[@grantwileyesq.5962]

I like these monkeys WAY more than the troops fed by the public!

[@millerlaureneliz]

Holy sheet 😳 they just grab live crabs and eat them alive good lord. I guess it's crazy I always thought of them as herbavores.

[@diamondhernandez7017]

En español las podrían poner

[@Riportella141]

Money money money ahhhhhhhhhh

[@ferdinardos]

They need a toothpick .

[@salad3481]

From india

[@SD.95]

Seafood party.

[@dashawnpittman6262]

I think it would be awesome to be one of those things

[@ben4032]

cool video but the sound is comical bad. i would beyond strongly prefer it to be silent than to be distracted by the thought of someone sitting in a studio banging rocks together to poorly imitate what real sound was produced

[@Ronaldrr27]

or maybe a shark

[@maziandshar6119]

Tik tok? lol

[@tonyadinolfi6673]

😂😂I was wondering if anyone else came from there lol

[@israelpena9164]

[@outkastnevalast3644]

[@BLamorous]

Who's Britney?

[@chech5774]

Don’t they get diseases from eating raw shellfish?

[@spinoraptor35]

Soon they'll know how to use spears and then rafts and then they will be like us

[@tonyadinolfi6673]

Anyone else from tik tok

[@aabb-mu9oy]

Money money money. Yes lol

[@beatrizbb155]

[@SolarSneaks]

[@jtzoltan]

[@Ronaldrr27]

love to see an orca eat them

[@butters6874]

Ronald Ryan All thoses likes you have are probably Psychopaths who likes to see things guy

[@luckybusaenda8432]

You need JESUS CHRIST to save your life JESUS CHRIST really coming soon!!

[@mchevre]

Christians have literally been saying he's coming "really soon" for almost 2000 years now since his death (he died in the year 33 and his cult turned into a religion sometime in the first 70 years after that). So, just curious - what makes you think this prediction is any different than every previous failed prediction? I normally leave religious people alone and don't challenge them - but you're asking for it by posting this random comment on a video about monkeys hunting seafood which has nothing to do with Jesus.

[@luckybusaenda8432]

@@mchevre but JESUS CHRIST really coming soon!

[@michaelmoore676]

Still Not SMART ENOUGH TO DROP A ROCK ON THE CRAB INSTEAD IT GETS BIT
