I like how the first things he does is answer the question first then explains later with no cringe intros while sponsorships are done after. Quality content at its finest.

"If you know where a hermit crab's urinating face pore is, let me know." Is a crazy statement out of context

[IIFrozenFlame]

These little piano riffs in the video really makes this whole ordeal so calming and mystical somehow. Great first new subscription of the year!

It’s like an old kids show segment but for grownups

Did you know that hermit crabs aren't even crabs they are more closely related to shrimp, lobsters, and squat crabs

[I.E.A.]

I used to own hermit crabs. They’re just like little Lobsters with shells.
Hermit crabs can range to different sizes. Btw a hermit crab pees about in the middle botttom of the face or in the middle of the face

Fun fact:
Sometimes, hermit crabs will line up next to a big shell when they outgrow their own shell and they will line up from biggest to smallest. They will trade shells, the biggest one (front of the line) will discard their shell and will take the bigger shell infront of them. This continues down the line until the last one gets their new shell, and then they just discard their shell on the beach.

Fact: Hermit crabs actually need to change to a bigger and bigger shell as they grow. They don't use the same shell in their lifetime.

Well done. People have commented on the sound design. It is brilliant, and your presentation style is throughly chill. Simple without being condescending. Thank you.

Lowkey wish youd make longer videos because your voice is so soothing and your one of the only YouTubers i can fall asleep to

[Martin-hbil]

Sometimes a row of hermit crabs will line up according to size, and then exchange shells down the line.

Rest in peace little guy, thank you for educating us with your hermit crab body.

All the little piano cues during the video totally remind me of Mister Roger's Neighborhood.

You know that one meme where there's a dude who lifts up another's mask and after seeing what's underneath says, "Let's keep this on..."

That's how I feel about this Hermit Crab.

Who always poops at home?
Hermit crabs: “meee”

[wayverleesoulsong]

I love how you kept going “but I was wrong”
Love watching a video where someone is honest <3

[ospididious]

Always love your videos. That "Mr. Rodgers science segment" style is spot on. Keep it up.

[gabry]

the larvae don't just "float like plankton", the ARE the plankton, zooplankton ofc, among all the other larvae of other crustaceans etc

[levi_octavian]

This feels like very nostalgic. Like in my early elementary school days when the teacher would wheel out the box TV or projector to put on a science documentary.

[honeybatz]

this is so interesting. i wonder what would happen if a crab never found a shell. would they be able to survive without it?
