For some reason, animals keep evolving into things that look like crabs, independently, over and over again. What is it about the crab’s form that makes it so evolutionarily successful that non-crabs are apparently jealous of it?

  • We live downtown in a coastal city so we were far but not too far from the sea. One night, we heard weird scraping sounds from the backyard. My dad and I decided to check it out. We inspected the area with a flashlight and found a large blue shelled creature with very long legs. Turns out, a coconut crab found its way to our backyard in the residantial area. So yeah, you're not alone in fearing coconut crabs.

  • It is not only the crab form that seems to be a "strange attractor" . Think how much the sea mammals look similar to a fish when you consider the form of it's ancestor as a land mammal. It is incredible how the evolution converges to the optimal shape for a certain environment (water) even if the origin may be very different.

  • I have noticed that in the past, athletes would warm up by running forwards but nowadays, it is common to see athletes running sideways. If my hypothesis (based on extrapolating such behaviours ) is correct, within the next 10 years we can expect to see athlete's warm ups start to include crab like hand motions. This will filter down to general population as well as inevitably being adapted by the military as the most efficient way of moving and combat. (It is worth noting that Karate already favours a side-on stance!)

There lived cats, tigers, marsupials and even salmons with saber teeth. Today we have just walruses, boars and the water deer, which are truly interesting, but they're not using their teeth like real saber tooth predators did.
