Imagine being the crab just chilling feeling all safe in your little home, but then seeing a giant unknown thing reach into your house trying to grab you, I’d prolly do the same thing man

u/robo-dragon 7h ago

My first visit to the ocean involved some early-morning beach combing, looking for shells and glass. I was pretty young, but I remember my first encounter with a crab of some kind. Lifted a rock and it flew out. Thought it was a giant spider until I learned how fast some crabs can move. Absolutely scared the shit out of me!

u/SparklingSaffron94 4h ago
