    I love how that stingray is like the antithesis of the crabs the crabs are small, reddish orange, hard and spiky/textured and than the stingray is big, navy blue, soft and smooth. Even the movements are the opposite the crabs move jerkily and erratically while the stingray flies in gracefully like water with fluid and graceful motions.

      They weren't, they're not social animals and they don't "think" that way. They're just all scrambling over each other. It's collective behavior created by a selfish instinct to survive, the best way to live is to group up and not get easily picked off alone.

      @@brittanyalonge Ever heard the expression "crabs in a bucket"? If you catch a bunch of a crabs in a bucket, you don't have to put a lid on it to keep them in there, because they always drag each other back down to the bottom of the bucket, all selfishly scrambling over each other. This is known, observable behavior proven time and time again. It's clear to deduce from such behavior that they aren't social and don't look out for nor care for each other.
