- Though this creepy doll head looks like it's possessed by a poltergeist, it's not. The reality is much more sad. Because this discarded doll head is inhabited by a hermit crab. Why do hermit crabs need to change their shells?
How does plastic waste affect hermit crabs? And can these trashy homes kill them?

Imagine finding a hermit crab using a naked doll as a shell and dragging it around
I would find them a shell
This is why we should make a beautiful shell for them
The hermit crab who made a doll face as its home LOL but pollution is really bad, I always recycle when I get the chance, if we dont do something about this its gonna back fire some day and the consequences are gonna be really really bad
It's also because tourist pick up sea shells 🐚 the hermits use shells as their homes
@@OfficialElectronik yeah
If your gonna pick them up atleast only choose one,and if your a person who only picks one from time to time already put the shell near places where crabs live
Life is very resilient and always seems to find a way to survive but it's so sad to see that hermit crabs need to resort to using plastic garbage as shell substitutes.
If the garbage wasn't there they would have no shell and would end up dead. So in this case the garbage is helping them.
Hermit crabs will slowly die in a garbage shell and when it’s dead it can attract a smell to others a new shell is open
Don't take shells from the beach. Every time you do a crab loses a home.
Not all shells clam shells can not be inhabited by a hermit crab
It’s not a crab. Pay attention

I find this funny, but i feel sorry for them at the same time
nah, what's trash to you is another's treasure
The tylenol bottle gets me, everyone has one of those days 😂
In all seriousness, trash is bad and shouldn't be in the ocean. However, I would think the hermit crab is less likely to be attacked since predators think they're just trash. Hence why these are so big. Another thing is, a hermit crab is just that. A hermit. They constantly move into different homes as they get bigger, so the ones pictured here likely have either long since expired their natural lives, or moved on to another home.
While this is both amusing and sad, it isn't hurting the crabs. The environment yeah, it does need to stop. But the crab is fine.
Lol 😂 I know but it’s still bad on our part we could do better 🥹🥹
Agreed :/ If there are enough shells for these hermits they wun need to take trash
Actually plastic can be bad for the crabs. And if theres paint on the trash, among other things. It’s like a crab wearing a painted shell, it’s awful, its painful, its suffocating, but its protection.
@@heccers1998 I agree
Plastics for casual wear, real shells for formal occasions.
Forcing crabs to use only real shells is "crabist"
One man's trash is a hermit crab's treasure
The trash is bad but funny that the creatures choose them for homes.
I know people who have had dozens of these things as pets for years.. They were really good pets. Their owners do need to do a lot of research and it takes real dedication to provide them with the correct living conditions for them..but they can thrive if properly cared for.
Yeah I was gonna say with the right care they can live a long time and arguably would be happier as they will potentially be fed a more diverse array of yummy foods and do not live in fear of predators.
I had some when I was a kid. I loved them.
At least it has a home. Much safer than nakie. Leaving shells on the beaches is a great idea though
this is a good video for teaching about hermit crabs
3:05 dunk slammed hermit crab
Glad I can watch it with no ads unlike snap chat.
Okay this is terrible and everyone that lives there or around there needs to go help these hermit crabs out. Clean up that trash and bring them a whole bunch of shells. Come on.
Ok let's all kill snails
PLEASE IF YIU SEE THIS AND YOU HAVE A HERMIT CRAB DO NOT BUY PAINTED SHELLS
Then give the hermit crabs real shells .
Here because of Another Crab's Treasure.
Really that is super sad
This is the saddest thing I have yet seen
Lol not the lego block home😂
This is so sad and sickening. All these poor hermit crabs getting hurt and effected by pollution 😥
Don’t need to be a fashion police. Hermit crabs can choose what they want to wear
Poor little hermit crab
Well i just bought 4 hermits sooooo
Lobster in the ocean
Hermitcrabs are good at recycling waste. That's all.
The hobos of hermit crabs
How about this, instead of stomping on the next hermit crab i see at the beach with my boot, ill instead buy one at the pet store. Which is preferable to u tuber?
👏👏👏
Instead picking up shells gimmick up trash instead
This is THE most propagandist video ever. Suddenly shells are disappearing. Lol 😂
ocean acidity does weaken shells
lol leaving houses only to mate
