This is underwater footage of a Dungeness crab intimidating a red rock crab. The red rock crab scurries away leaving the chicken for the one-clawed Dungeness crab. The underwater camera was strapped to the crab net at the Embarcadero Resort crab dock in Newport, Oregon.

  • @tylervollan i dunno about that, i once pulled up a huge rock crab and a dungeness about the same size and no shyt, i watched as the dungeness grabbed hold of the rock crabs larger claw and just crushed it... i felt pretty bad for it but they both ended up as dinner so they both lose lol

  • the red rock is your mom

  • as long as rock crab stay in defense i dont think dungeness can lay a scratch on it. speed means nothing if your offense/defense are weaker than your opponent. and dungeness do not have any advantage to break rock crab's defense.

  • red rock crab would own in a fight

    red rock's have large large pinchers for their size. a 4 inch red rock will have more muscular claws than a 7 inch dungeness.

    however, the legs of a red rock are its primary disadvantage. the dungenes crab is a much fast navigater than the red rock. red rocks have little to no meat in their legs, while dungess have very muscular legs.

  • One of the best places too. But I hate it when people at embarcadero lift your crab rings at night and take your crab! I go out further into the bay on my uncles boat to drop off our crab cages, but apparently people take your crab that way too.

  • in a real physical fight I dont think dungeness crab would stand a chance. rock crab had more thicker reenforce armor than dungeness crab. but since this vid is about a juvanile rock rock vs a full grown adult dungeness crab. I'd take dungeness crab.

  • Excellent video......I hope you have more planned.........
