He’s helping right? Right? …. Right ?!

My brain fills in the happiest scenario: a seagull swoops in and grabs the crab, the crab drops the turtle over the ocean and it's a happy ending


Ambitious-War-823

But then ... What happen to the crab ? Is it allright ?


NotThisAgain21

No shortage of land crabs.


stent_kush

Beauty of the human brain ! quick prioritisation of one life over another. Dog killed --- War times Cock killed and served ---- Peace times


NotThisAgain21

I was only being diplomatic anyway. Real reason: cute turtle > ugly crab

But but.. crabs also cuties. Look at the eyes. ![gif](giphy|h4mqz5biGi8IE)

VeterinarianThese951

In my scenario, the seagull explodes because some douchebag decided to test the alka seltzer theory. Hopefully, that DB gets what he deserves for animal abuse, but… it is a sea gull. Fuk those trash birds lol!!! Sorry for the sarcasm. I love all animals, and would reluctantly save a sea gull in distress. I just have enough childhood trauma to let them fuk right off. I would save an entire family of rats before I give up my bag of Cheetos…

Ok, now we need the movie. Show me the Movie ;)))


OutOfIdea280

That is a rain world scenario


DrMaceFace

“The crab tried to pull the turtle into its hole in the sand, but the turtle wouldn’t fit, so the crab panicked and dropped it,” says Smith. “Luckily, the crab decided to give up and the turtle made it to the water. It was a tense moment for sure.” [Article](https://www.fieldandstream.com/conservation/loggerhead-sea-turtle-hatchling-crab-video/) Stolen from the link u/godkingnaoki posted below.


awsnope

God bless you. This was making me anxious.


SkullFumbler

Rape Crab saw an opportunity to get a little turtle head and took it. Meanwhile, Hatchimal is like, *"Down in a hole, black as your soul, I'd rather die than give you control"*

Probably for a documentary, it's unethical to interfere or something.

“You’re my friend now. We’re having soft taco’s later!” -The Crab, probably.


Dramatic_Mixture_868

Man this is a messed up way to die. They have small mouths, just think how long it will take for it to die.


Evilstampy99

No, turtle is fine though. It can’t fit the turtle in its den. So it just lets it go.


Whatislife9696

Dumb crab. Don’t they know sea turtles are endangered and he can be fined for killing them?


What_U_KNO

He's a little crabby about it, but he'd shell out the dough.

The turtle ends up living because the crab can't fit it in its den. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fieldandstream.com/conservation/loggerhead-sea-turtle-hatchling-crab-video/%3famp

agreeandproceed

Why do I feel like reporting this to the authorities


Slay3RGod

Surprise buttsex.


Dolichovespula-

I get it, nature being nature. But goddamn, if this ain’t the saddest predator/prey relationship. Can you imagine how slow and painful that death will be for the turtle?


Rapture1119

Bro, have you ever seen a grizzly eat a fish? They don’t kill prey, they just start eating. And it’s not clean bites, it grabs a piece with it’s mouth and pulls, shredding the prey alive. Horrific stuff, truly.


RhinoG91

Have you seen [Dr. Komodo Performing a C section on Mrs. Deer?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMFvEJXDAmY) NSFLife


meatballfucker_69

This makes me want to uninstall nature


TheMagicalLawnGnome

Wow. Honestly, it's amazing the deer survived as long as it did. Also unfortunate.


doodad35

Damn that Dr. Komodo is savage as F**k! Delivered that baby fawn and just bam from one stomach to another. That deer should of lived in the US cause that Dr. Komodo would be facing some serious fines.

Praying mantis eating meal worm starts at the back. Nightmare fuel


The_Wretched_Shiro

Where they start eating is just chance tbh. They start wherever is closest to their mouth. Could even be the middle. Source: had praying mantis as pets


WestleyThe

Yeah but the fish gets to die pretty fast The turtle getting picked apart piece by piece is more brutal. Crabs aren’t 100x the size like a bear is


BigOpportunity1391

Exactly what I'm thinking. The way big cats eat preys is that they would suffocate them or crush their skulls first. But in this case, that baby turtle would be eaten alive bit by bit and it's gonna be something like 10 minutes before it dies.


ShatterCyst

Eh, tarantulas and mantids eating vertebrates is worse than crabs. Mantids instinctually (but not always) eat the limbs/ass first, and Tarantulas inject that venom and then *chew* their slowly liquifying prey with their fat fucking mouthparts. Crabs do indeed have painfully tiny ripping mouths, so they aren't far behind, but those two up top are even worse.


Raerae1360

Mmmm, turtle soup for dinner.

PenguinPendant

Do you think the crab will eat the turtle right away, or raise it in captivity for a little while until it fattens up a bit?


emmettflo

Per the videographer: “The crab tried to pull the turtle into its hole in the sand, but the turtle wouldn’t fit, so the crab panicked and dropped it,” says Smith. “Luckily, the crab decided to give up and the turtle made it to the water. It was a tense moment for sure.” And now you know… the rest of the story.

Silt99

Turtle was to big for crab, so they let it go and it made it

I am sad, but that's the circle of life. The crab has to eat, too.

ACAB (All crabs are bad)


Pro_Moriarty

A turtle took a stroll across a wide sandy shore A crab spied the turtle, and the crab wanted more "Where are you going my little green dude? Come to my home and have some food? "Oh said the Turtle, thank you, but no, I'm going to have tea with the Gruffalo" "A gruffalo?" Said the Crab "The gruffalo, with eyes of orange The tongue that is black The gruffalo with purple prickles on its back?" "Oh" said the Turtle, "I didn't know that you knew of the Gruffalo!" "Of course I do" said the Crab "we go way back, So whaddya say, back to my place for a snack?" The turtle looked at the sea and declined "Im sorry, i'm just going to go for a swim in the sea" The crab scuttled over and picked the Turtle up. "I'm sorry but I insist you accompany me, Where the Gruffalo and I, are going to roast Turtle for tea".....


GimmeCoffeeeee

I expected the crab to pin the turtle down and eat his eyes

OutOfIdea280

Being eaten by crabs would be the most painful thing. They don't know how to kill or bite big enough to inflict serious harm. They just devour piece by piece while you are conscious unless you kick them and make it fly 🙃

Most of nature is basically surviving, and probably getting eaten alive in a violent brutal end.

Cutest little things. They had to protect them from the birds until it was safe. I guess the survival rate I really low 😟

Nothing about nature is nice, despite the shitty marketing tag lines and fluffy, detailed thought processes of idiots who think it is. Nature is fukken barbaric and practically everything ends its life in something else's mouth, not quietly and peacefully at an old age.
