Fun fact: Through a process of convergent evolution called carcinisation, crustaceans have evolved into crabs several times.

It is inevitable! All shall become crab!

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 17 points 11 months ago

That's my plan too! I hope the ecological niche is still free

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

Did they ever find the missing king crabs?

[-] Thranduil@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

You also have crabs become non crabs

[-] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It's also a highly debated theory.

[-] Genrawir@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Is it really? I figured it was just another textbook example of convergent evolution, as that is where I learned about it. I know my comment should have said 'evolved crab-like bodies' instead, as they'd still be genetically distinct, and not taxonomically true crabs. Now I feel like I have to read up on what the exact nature of the debate is.

[-] SirQuackTheDuck@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Yeah, sure, as if I'd like to trash all my points I put in IQ.

The true meaning of carcinization, revealed

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 14 points 11 months ago

Get eaten if you're not careful or just have bad luck.

[-] _number8_@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

can normal animals in nature get fat? like a particularly lazy tiger or something

[-] skulblaka@kbin.social 17 points 11 months ago

Sure, provided the food is available and doesn't cost too many calories to obtain. The real problem lies in the fact that most fat animals get hunted by other, faster, hungrier carnivores. Sure you can get fat in nature but it's a hell of a feat to stay fat (and alive) in nature.

[-] threelonmusketeers@sh.itjust.works 9 points 11 months ago

Bears get fat every year to prepare for hibernation.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

If someone is feeding it.

[-] Coasting0942@reddthat.com 9 points 11 months ago

Having tasted freshly boiled crab, Iā€™d be concerned about being caught by some land apes.

[-] PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Just don't get caught.

[-] cod@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Time for crab

[-] TubeTalkerX@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago

This is how they recruit more Crab People

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I'd walk side to side if I were a crab.

[-] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Forgot the goal of all evolution
