According to the article, the crabs have been bred in an environment without predators. Therefore they have to train the crabs how to protect themselves in order to survive in the coral reefs. Picture of using puppets to train crabs
That is a terrifying puppet. Like wtf is it supposed to be?
A Very Normal Sea Creature Nothing To See Here
(squid?)
normal... is uh. relative, heh.
I mean... have you seen what comes up out of the sea? freaking aliens, man.
Ironically said by a fugly duck. Hmm
Octopus, if I had to guess
apparently, yes. and... basically everything else. apparently. and also cuddle fish and squid.
*Cuttlefish. They may look cuddly, but most are not.
Terrifying for a crab... Wait... are you a crab?!? :O
I'm kinda surprised to see them training them one at a time. That's going to take ages. "OK, Roger has been successfully intimidated by the nightmare puppet. Looks like Brenda is next in line, someone bring in Brenda."
Just put a real predator in the tank forehead
Pretty sure crabs brains are so simple that they are almost purely instinctual. You shouldn't need to train them. But I can hurt, I guess.
Marine biologist’s friend: How’s work been lately?
Biologist: Great! This month I’ve been putting on puppet shows for crabs!
Friend: Is that a euphemism or …?
