Crabs Keep Turning Into Land Animals!

The video explores how crabs have adapted to life on land through a process called terrestrialization. It covers various adaptations, including breathing changes from gills to lungs, structural modifications like exoskeletons and hydrostatic skeletons, dietary shifts to plant-based foods, and reproductive strategies involving brooding and care for young. These adaptations have allowed crabs to thrive on land despite the challenges of moving from an aquatic environment.
