  • why do they wave???

  • I think they're trying to get attention of a mate. The fighting is to drive off competition.

  • ridiculous creature.

  • LOL...they might say the same about us. ;-)

  • I've enjoyed everyone's comments, lol. I originally studied this video so I could program crab movement for a computer game.
