I like how the first things he does is answer the question first then explains later with no cringe intros while sponsorships are done after. Quality content at its finest.
I used to own hermit crabs. They’re just like little Lobsters with shells. Hermit crabs can range to different sizes. Btw a hermit crab pees about in the middle botttom of the face or in the middle of the face
Back to late 90's and early 2000's kids era when: sesame street, teletubbies, tweenies, barney, etc. Shown on TV when every single show have story telling segment with narrative style just like this man show 😂 😆 miss the old day
Fun fact: Sometimes, hermit crabs will line up next to a big shell when they outgrow their own shell and they will line up from biggest to smallest. They will trade shells, the biggest one (front of the line) will discard their shell and will take the bigger shell infront of them. This continues down the line until the last one gets their new shell, and then they just discard their shell on the beach.
Well done. People have commented on the sound design. It is brilliant, and your presentation style is throughly chill. Simple without being condescending. Thank you.
Due to the amount of plastic debris in the oceans, a lot of hermit crabs have been using plastic bottles and things like that as shells. They aren't as strong of course as regular shells, but hermit crabs have been adapting pretty well to our destruction of their environment.
I had watched a video in the past of wild hermit crabs, and how they can end up baking out in the sun if they don't find a shell replacement soon. So I guess they have trouble with exposure to the elements without one.
You know that one meme where there's a dude who lifts up another's mask and after seeing what's underneath says, "Let's keep this on..." That's how I feel about this Hermit Crab.
“How important is a hermit crabs shell” I didn’t realize I would find such a lovely channel! I love animals and you are taking it to a level I didn’t know I needed. Thank you good sir
This feels like very nostalgic. Like in my early elementary school days when the teacher would wheel out the box TV or projector to put on a science documentary.
The best educational channel I've seen on UA-cam so far. You are a really talented narrator and teacher. Also thank you for being neutral in terms of evolution/creation question. That professional approach is what BBC and others really lack.
Ive been having my pet hermit crabs for around 4 years now, and through the years ive learned a lot about them, so you cannot believe the excitement i had when i found out that oddanimalspecimens made a video about them lol
These Videos remind me a lot of segments in the German TV Show "Die Sendung mit der Maus". It's a very simmilar vibe with the calm, well explained educational content with a narrator
I think you make excellent content, but seeing dead hermit crabs made me sad. When I was a kid I spent a lot of time at tide pools watching them, and they always seemed so curious and sociable with one another.
Absolutely wonderful, thank you. I was already familiar with a lot of the info, but I really appreciate the great photography of the specimens. The way the egg clutch is held, that was new to me! I might even consider checking out the sponsor, some assorted boxes of stuff doesn't sound terrible.
They also breathe using modified gills and submerge under water for hours which also means that they NEED to be in a high humidity environment with access to fresh and salt water to survive. They also LOVE to climb..the higher the better!!
When you think about it it makes perfect sense that hermit crabs don’t have spiraled innards like a snail because they can’t form their own shells they just find ones that used to belong to other animals and slide into it
Wait, that's a hermit crab? I used to play with those when I was a kid and had no idea what they were.😂 We lived in a remote and they comes after heavy rain.
The specimens look very fresh- how old are they? Are they recently deceased or just very well preserved? Wet specimens? If so, how do you prevent them from falling apart? Would really appreciate an answer, Thank you!!
I can see why. Not only would trying to remove a living crab from its shell probably stress it the hell out, but you might strain its uropods in the process. I can only imagine that it'd be hard to keep a new shell on with injured uropods.
I grew up spending my summers in Ocean City, MD, and we could buy them as pets. I had quite a few over my childhood. We’d have to make sure we had big enough shells for them as they grew. But they never survived long. And it always creeped me out seeing them out of their shells.
*fun fact: coconut crabs are a type of hermit crab* once the juveniles reach a certain size they ditch using shells as protection for the rest of they're life
I a hermit colony of five, they are very difficult animals to please. They can be very finicky and get stressed very easily. They need access to both fresh and salt water which complicates their enclosures. If you want them to be happy you gotta figure out how to get them both. They're also very intelligent and love to explore, if there arent things to keep them entertained in their enclosure they'll be depressed and they'll just burrow into the substrate and stay there. You'll think they're sick and not okay so you'll dig them out to check on them, which in turn will stress them out even more so they'll burrow even deeper for even longer which will stress you out and it just becomes a perpetual stress cycle 🤣. They also burrow to molt but it's hard to know if they're burrowing to molt, destress, or if they're sick. You just have to leave them be and constantly smell the enclosure for a fishy smell. They're little divas but if you get everything set up right it's a rewarding pet to keep. They take a lot of work and pet stores don't do a good job of telling people that. I thought it would be easy but i was wrong. Oh and definitely don't keep them in the painted shells they come with from the store, buy them some natural shells and place them around if you get them, always get more than one, 2-3, they're social animals. Their bodies disgust me though, it's so weird looking outside the shell, i once found one dead outside the shell, not sure how or why because it was the biggest most active one, maybe he was just old, but his unshelled body was so freaky i didn't even wanna pick it up to throw it out😂. They're also escape artists, you'll come home, look at the tank and one will be missing so you'll try to check the substrate but you can't find em, then you see em walking around on the floor😂.
“It would mean a lot to me if you sat through this short add” Pffftt dude I’m watching all your videos start to finish. Pfft some people just won’t understand the effort and how amazing your videos are, pfftt I’m watching them all because I love animals, you’re giving us so much knowledge and you’re adorable. Pfftt. (American dad reference work the pfffttss at everything lol)
Bro you're like the Kratt brother's version of Mr Rodgers Neighborhood. Complete with piano sounds and everything, except youre teaching about animals. So cool.
I really enjoy the style of production you have chosen. The relaxing piano reminds me of Zelda (botw). Sometimes it helps me sleep, but I also enjoy learning something new. Thank you for all the good work.
Surprised me that you didn’t know Hermir Crabs don’t make their shells. They are a common pet, or at least they use to be, and it was a big deal if you had one live long enough and thrive and need to move to a bigger shell.
I had one before as a pet when i was a kid .. I like ur channel u explain everything good and ur voice is nice ur good with this and speaks perfect..have a bless day U have new subscriber
Ima tell my story: one day I was on the beach and I saw some hermit crabs so I pick them and get a bucket of water and put them in there so, I was trying to find a new bid sea shells so the hermit crabs can go in it and I try to make them go in it but suddenly it goes in it and gets a new shell I saw the body😅😅😅
when i was a child, i had a couple hermit crabs. one day, i looked into their habitat to find one of my hermit crabs dead, pale, and out of its shell. i was traumatized for a while.
Fun fact u dont need to kill a hermit crab to show how they look inside their home all u have to do is lift them up a little and hold their shell in your hand while the hermit has its feet on the ground as they get scared they will sometimes leave their home behind to save them selfs. They will run really fast and hide trying to find a new shell.
Evolution creates some incredible things. We have a creature whose entire survival strategy relies on using the remains of another creature as armour. The problem is, what will the hermit crabs do if all the snails die?
As a kid I played with hermit crabs at the beach. They were small and lived in shells from ocean snails. The crabs were black, orange, brown and white.
I don't know if this is just coincidence or UA-cam is scanning my games, because i started playing Another Crab's Treasure, and it raised some questions.
Love your video! I've been researching these tiny critters and this video is so helpful. I've looked HIGH and LOW for a picture or video of a aquatic hermit crab with a view of his "belly" side especially with him/her halfway in their shell. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?
Is it possible for u to show us all the skulls you have ever had a chance to see? btw, i love ur content, since it teaches me all kind of stuff about biology
Looking forward to the big reveal when you finally show us what you're hidding under your beanie. Some think you're just another bald white guy, but the theory that it's held in place with uropods is gathering popularity.
Speaking of crabs, my little sister killed a baby ghost crab (do not look that up) when we were kids and thought it was an oyster so she fed it to me and I threw up. The tradition is FRIED oysters not raw ones.

I have a question do hermit crabs vomit now now they pee from their mouth SO what if they vomit and pee at the SAME TIME

"If you know where a hermit crab's urinating face pore is, let me know." Is a crazy statement out of context
Okay this is hilarious
Even in context it’s wild
I would like to buy 4 of them
I was thinking if anyone could find it, it would be him lol
Not really.... the context is contained within that sentence.
These little piano riffs in the video really makes this whole ordeal so calming and mystical somehow. Great first new subscription of the year!
Look up "History of Japan" by Bill wurtz. I thought it was the same channel when I heard those piano jingles, and their voices are the same too!
It brings a calm nature that I can recall from my childhood specifically from watching “Mr. Rodger’s neighborhood”
I find it annoying. And I like piano.
I used to own hermit crabs. They’re just like little Lobsters with shells.
Hermit crabs can range to different sizes. Btw a hermit crab pees about in the middle botttom of the face or in the middle of the face
I believe we seen it. It was but yellowish i think?
I have hermit crabs xd
It’s like an old kids show segment but for grownups
PBS ahh show
And kids
I thought the same thing
Biology and Anatomy with Mr. Rogers

Did you know that hermit crabs aren't even crabs they are more closely related to shrimp, lobsters, and squat crabs
now igotta quick search what Squat crabs are, and find out why Regular crabs have shunned them..
Squat crabs are a excercise
Yea, that looks about right
Don't worry, they'll become crabs eventually.
It's like killer whales, which are more closely related to dolphins
So that’s why they look similar to shrimps and lobsters
Fun fact:
Sometimes, hermit crabs will line up next to a big shell when they outgrow their own shell and they will line up from biggest to smallest. They will trade shells, the biggest one (front of the line) will discard their shell and will take the bigger shell infront of them. This continues down the line until the last one gets their new shell, and then they just discard their shell on the beach.
Fact: Hermit crabs actually need to change to a bigger and bigger shell as they grow. They don't use the same shell in their lifetime.
Yes, and they are known to line up in groups and swap shells,.
@@jonasg.bisgaard1086 But the only Hermit crabs I saw were the Mediterranean Hermit crabs. Those never lined up.
@@corabonnici6477maybe they weren’t changing shells or they didn’t want to line up
One species outgrown a need for shells
The coconut crabs
They are the ones hunting for seaguls
Not the other way around
i thought everyone knew this
Well done. People have commented on the sound design. It is brilliant, and your presentation style is throughly chill. Simple without being condescending. Thank you.
Lowkey wish youd make longer videos because your voice is so soothing and your one of the only UA-camrs i can fall asleep to
Sometimes a row of hermit crabs will line up according to size, and then exchange shells down the line.
That's cute
@@Itsmarleejoy
Thanks, I also found it cute. I wish humans could behave so cooperatively. 🐚🦀
All the little piano cues during the video totally remind me of Mister Roger's Neighborhood.
Man is talking to me like I'm a 5 year old
Yes, and its wonderful, isn't it?
No @@laurenprosser509
@@laurenprosser509yeah
Sshh listen or you'll go in the naughty corner
It’s comforting imo
the larvae don't just "float like plankton", the ARE the plankton, zooplankton ofc, among all the other larvae of other crustaceans etc
this is so interesting. i wonder what would happen if a crab never found a shell. would they be able to survive without it?
as long as nothing ate it I don't see why not

Is like they dont give a f

i suppose no with predators and stuff
Always love your videos. That "Mr. Rodgers science segment" style is spot on. Keep it up.
You know that one meme where there's a dude who lifts up another's mask and after seeing what's underneath says, "Let's keep this on..."
That's how I feel about this Hermit Crab.
Awwww. I had two hermit crabs when I was a kid. RIP, Hekyll & Jekyll. You guys were so fun and cute. ❤
Who always poops at home?
Hermit crabs: “meee”
Not in the bathroom, but in the middle of the living room...them scoop with the hands...
The Mr.Rogers background music brings me back to childhood.

“How important is a hermit crabs shell”
I didn’t realize I would find such a lovely channel! I love animals and you are taking it to a level I didn’t know I needed. Thank you good sir
I stayed and watched the ad because you asked so nicely. I also now know about urinating face pores. Neat!

Can you please tell which books you refer. I'm dying to give it a read.
I've always wondered why they're called hermits when they're really more like squatter crabs.
They also breathe using modified gills and submerge under water for hours which also means that they NEED to be in a high humidity environment with access to fresh and salt water to survive. They also LOVE to climb..the higher the better!!
where did he find all these dead hermit crabs
It's at the very end of the video (santa barbara museum of natural history)
6:31 omg lil guy is smilling ❤️🩹
1:34 is there a full background song at this part?
i was lucky enough to witness a hermit crab swap meet in a beach in Brazil
I never wanna hear the words urinating face pore again
That crab in the thumbnail looks like a croissant 🥐

You'd have to ask the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History. They are their specimens, not the channels.
Hermit Crabs pee via glands at the base of their antenna, near the eyes.
I was told I was never supposed to take the shell off manually, always let them do it
I can see why. Not only would trying to remove a living crab from its shell probably stress it the hell out, but you might strain its uropods in the process. I can only imagine that it'd be hard to keep a new shell on with injured uropods.
That is correct they will hold on so tightly they often tear apart in the process
Now i feel bad for forcefully pulling the hermitcrab from its shell.😢
I was a child full of curiosity then.
I am so thankful for youtube algorithm recomendation, this is my new favorite channel! Amazing videos!
