Carnivorous Snail Eats Hermit Crab Alive!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 сен 2016
- These carnivorous snails (Agaronia propatula) are found on beaches throughout the Pacific coast of Central America. They move slowly through the wet sand until they encounter a potential prey item at which point they pounce. After grabing their prey, they force it toward the back of their pseudopod (foot) which forms a large pouch that will eventually engulf the food item. The snail will then bury itself into the sand where it will enjoy its meal in peace. These snails can even be convinced to attack a human finger as you can see here! If you don't believe us, see for yourself at • Carnivorous Sea Snail ... !

The crab should've press the eject button
lol
ChaosAnonymous you didnt hear? Ocean had a mark on that crab and hired their deadliest assassin aftef sabataging thier shell with krill on the inside destroying any chance to escape
Well, that's not entirely a joke. In fact crabs leave their shells...problem is they only do it to get a new one, so you barely can see them without them on.
Kind of surprised it didn't....
The crab was too shellfish.
Crabs in the after life...
Steve: Yeah, it was crazy man! These giant alien beings scooped me up from the water, put me in a metal prison, and things got real hot! Then, I woke up here!
Ronnie: What!? I just got stepped by one of those! What about you Larry?
Steve: ..Larry?
Larry: ...a snail.. I.. I don't want to talk about it
This got me dead😂😂😂😂😂😂
Snail vore
Crab: I thought it was just a blow job but she swallowed me whole.
"The captain should always go down with the ship" -Hermit crab

Ooh baby give me one more cha-

Ivan Pascuttini You made my fucking day.

Spongebob: “GARY THE SNAIL WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT EATING MR KRAB AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT”
Was Any body else waiting for the crab to stab through the snail?
it's poison immobilise it's prey in a few seconds.
Zuhair Khan it's venom...
+Mckrusty Krustystein
you are correct.
That would have been really cool though
Zuhair Khan Man that crab was really immobilized to be moving around inside the snail...
I don't get the logic of saving the crab and killing the snail. They are both wild animals, neither of them is a pet. They are both in their natural habitat, not a setup. Both the snail and the crab kill other animals to eat. The crab was already stung and paralyzed by the snail. So why do people want to save the crab? I don't get it.
flaggschiffen Ah yes, the paralyzed crab was struggling after being eaten...
Looks more like a simple ambush. Not to mention the shell would be between the crab and the snail.
Well, firstly, it is a basic human instinct to try and help those in need. It is actually proven that by the context of a nature documentary, you can make people team up with the lion or the gnu, just by showing them how desperately the lion needs that meat or how desperately the gnu is trying to not be eaten.
Seeing the hermit crab helplessly being eaten by a snail, our first instinct would be to help the crab, because it's in life danger and because it's easier to read the emotions of a crab then a snail or project emotions onto them.
So, these people are not stupid, they're just listening to their hearts, which tells them that it's wrong that this specific hermit crab has to die right now...
the snail has to eat
and killing them all was way worse. the spider got its hard earned meal and you killed it for it? my opinion on this matter is that you are very stupid. thats like saying *oh a tiger just got a zebra i better shot them both*. i would go away from it as if i never heard the fly why you may ask? well because the spider worked on a trap that could give it food and now it has kids. the fly didnt see it coming so the spider got a reward for working (like you working for money but this spider does it for food) and then some random person heard this and kills the spider for? working hard and getting a reward. you trigger me alot.
I absolutely loved this. The right answer how ever was let the spider eat the fly and many more so you have a lot less flies around at the cost of a few less annoying spiders.
Gary had beef with mister crab
Lmao people telling the guy to save the crab. That snail would pwn him.
Hanz Olos Not a cone snail
Hed be dead within 40 minutes meesing around with a conesnail
Guys goes to save it and suddenly gets engulfed by the hugeass scrotum as well...
I eat raw poisonous snails each morning.
Awww!😵
the irony of the fact that the one stuck in his home eats the one who is actually free to leave his home...
still difficult to swallow tho.
I've never seen a crab win a fight to the death. Not once.
are you feeling it now mr. krabs??
I see some people say that the crab would have died if it left its shell, which makes zero sense, because staying in the shell was the one sure way it would die. It chose certain death instead of potential death then.
"This is a bummer way to die, let's face it. It's like someone mostly buried an old man on a nudist beach"
"It’s kind of ironic to die in a testicle"
Art tho feeling it now Mr. Krabs?
Alfredo Oregon ur fucking goat for that 😂😂😂
oh fuck. i cant believe youve done this
Meow
Well I'm glad that mr. Krabs dead
He was eaten by Gary, after some dissatisfied customers tricked him into thinking there was some money where Gary was hiding.
"WHOS THE TOUGH GUY NOW VINNY!!!???!!!"
Stuff of nightmares.. imagine if that was a human?😳
Snail Vores Hermit Crab
That is the scariest fucking thing i have seen in my entire life.
What a weakling
Snails are scary ! Thank you for such a great video !
In case you could get any ideas of interfering. Cone snail is among the most venomous animals in the world and there is no antidote.
This isn’t a cone snail lmao. It’s just a predatory sea snail. The reason you shouldn’t interfere because it’s just nature playing out.
Could you imagen if that happend to your toe
Why is 2:36 so funny
That crab had one of those moments where he was saying to himself.....
"well FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK"
Milton Moore he was portraying what was going through the crabs head why you getting on their case ^^; i do this as well except i try to read gor any misundetstandings on my part
Milton Moore shut yo serious ass up this is RUclips comments.
Milton Moore You're a "Fucking" Idiot
+Milton Moore, yes, and you're so civilized you might want to live in this place called YOUR MUM'S HOUSE
Milton Moore dude it's the internet grow up
Snail: get over here
Hermit crab: no a captain goes down with his ship!
snail:REEEEEEEEE
Hermit crab :REEEEEE

The camera man just staring the hermit crab and didnt help the poor crab well that may upseting my son.....because my son loves hermit crab i need to delete this so he cant see it from my history... and great video👍
Very informative, did not know hermit crabs had a predator of this caliber.
Lol at the snow flakes in the comments. . . You know how nature works yeh? That and most predatory sea snails contain incredibly potent neuro/musculotoxic venom. . . Are you seriously suggesting this person risk his life saving something thats just going to be eaten by an octupus later. . .
Are you triggered by those comments? Do you need a safe place?
I don't suggest anyone do anything, myself at least. I say I would however on the basis I like hermit crabs, in fact I would keep it if it was alright and say this is the crab I saved from certain death. I also have a tendency to feel sorry for things in the event of their death cause I can empathize despite death being natural as I don't want to die despite that just being nature. I don't think most people suggest it matters greatly so much as they are expressing their wishes. If you think that's a problem then plot twist, you were the snowflake the whole time!!! WHAAAAAA???
I would have bashed the thing with a shovel.. With the crab inside.
Makes more crunching sounds..
Dang bruh this is scary when you walking and you see something eating your toe
Decided 2 get this off my recommended list
It looks like you buried a naked old man in the sand on his back.
Hermit crab look out behind you!!!! Oh my god... he can’t hear me he has his Airpods™️ in!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
This is normal stuff. It would be more amazing if the snail ate the crab BBQ style or maybe hot pot style.
Oh baby give me one more chaaaaaaaaa
He who controls the spice controls the universe.
Does it digest the shell too?
Your shell detaches hermit crab! You could’ve gotten away!
Well, that snail won’t have to eat again for a while
I had no idea.thanks for info.
"Hey, where are you going? :)"
are YOU FEELING IT NOW MR. KRABS?
God bless you all have a great week!
Are ya feeling it now Mr.Krabs?
Hermit crab suspiciously placed for an easy capture by the snail...
ARE U FEELING IT NOW MR. CRAB ?
Cone snails could even kill a person! I think
Yea you don't mess with those snails no matter what size
Itzcathywathy 166 Good thing that probably isn't a cone snail then
Itzcathywathy 166
not a cone snail. It's an olive snail (probably an Ancilla sp.) no toxic harpoon on these.
Jonathan Olazabal ._. She's like that? 😅
ruclips.net/video/2TUGKXcD5F4/видео.html don't think this person died XD
Why didn't the hermit crab leave it's shell? It would have survived the attack.
5954ldydi They can't escape the shell that fast jesus
Yes they can; I've kept nearly a dozen as pets and got to see them switch shells on more than one occasion -- the affair is usually over with in less than 3 seconds, even for the large ones.
I suppose the crab just didn't have the mental faculty to understand what was happening to it and didn't understand the nature of the threat it was facing until it was already too late. If I had to guess, the crab probably detected it was under attack too late and probably withdrew into its shell on instinct to protect itself the only way it knows how, not realizing that would make things worse.
Cone snails use harpoons containing a powerful venom to paralyze its prey. The hermit crab was presumably stabbed by said harpoon and would have lost all but the most minute motor functions in the span of two seconds at best.
5954ldydi it’s not like getting up out of a chair lmao. U say it so casually as if u have attached urself to a shell before. It doesn’t work that way sweety
KeenoMajeeno1 hermit crabs are not attached to their shells... They live inside them and use their "spare" legs to hold themselves inside or to slide in and out of these. If you try to get one out of it's shell, you will most likely hurt it, but not because it is somehow organically attached to his shell (like snails), but because it will hold on to it with brute force, no matter what you do...
Crazy how it was still alive in the stomach
imagine if a snail grabbed your foot
Forget the shell, let the snail have it, you RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!
Wow, that's absolute alien-like...
Eugene Krab, devoured by Gary The Snail.
Just... How? HOW SWAY?!
Just when I thought it was safe to go to the beach. This.
The sand looks like kinetic sand.
This is why I stay FAR away from the ocean.
SinfulSapien
Sharks, yeah ok. But as soon as we start talkin’ snails, you can enjoy a lonely fuckin beach day without my too-smart-for-that-shit self! You people are out yo damn minds! Snails... pshhh... yeah fucking right super-chief.
just time for a snack before the tide comes in. nice vid thanks for info
Crab probably ate his way free.
Dang, couldn't it crawl out of its house or has he been in there long enough to the point that he can't anymore?
I wonder how that snail could even digest that shell and sands 😥
it doesnt -.- have you ever heard of spitting things out?
that snail looks more stretched out than a balloon being sat on by a 3 year old
o crap cone snails lay in wait in the sand on land too?
When the snail catch the thief whos stole his home last month
Have I been baited into watching snail vore?
He should’ve picked the snail up to see how big it was after it ate the crab
From the title what i read is " corona virus snail eat the hermit crab alive " and i was like huh?!! But i read it wrong lol
What kind of snails did i grow up with then
Garden Snails
What a terrible fate, being slowly digested
so many idiots saying "you should have saved the crab", the crab was the snails food and it could have starved without it.It's called the circle of life
So that crab didnt leave his shell...
sometimes ya need to crawl outta your shell.
@The Wandering Biologist I know this video is a few years old so I doubt I will get a response. But that looks like a cone shell snail. Aren't they highly venomous? Why is this snail not using its harpoon? Is it convergent evolution or just a close non-venomous relative? Again, thanks for the response if you somehow see this. Subscribed!
i think its a killer surfing snail
I can't look away form this
I don’t understand why the hermit crab didn’t just leave its shell
is this normal? i thought snails chewed their food.
Oh baby give me one more chaaaaaaaaaaa
So like... they can digest those shells I guess.
how the fuck did i get back to this side of youtube
Holy shit where was the ocean hiding until 2:36?
I'm not fat, I just ate a crab
Crabs are stupid because they are always eaten by some of the softest creatures on earth and yet they are The crunchiest animals out there.
its like when homer got his hand stuck in the vending machine cuz he was holding the can of pop XD
rip hermit crab
What people won't understand is; when the house's on fire.. YOU NEED TO LEAVE THE GODDAMN PLACE !!
Not going to a beach again
Crabs are cheap, just like Mr. Krabs. He did not want to let go of that shell.
And, I thought my morning was a tough one. Gzz!
That’s what it is now, random innocent shit becoming carnivorous? 😟
The hermit crab could have left his home behind
Aleksey Benitez Not fast enough to escape.
wwaaahhhht? how does the snail digest the crab shell...
I wonder why the crab couldn’t get away
ITS LIKE IF THE BLOB HAD A SHELL!
Delta-P once it's got ya' it's got ya'.
That’s just humiliating
that boy serious!!!!
How does the snail actually kill the crab once it has it engulfed?
capefear56 same way you eat food after you swallow (digestion)
Funny the crab could have gotten out of it's shell in time.
Looks like Mr krabs can't steal your money now !
What does the snail taste like?
And that's why you should always carry an anemone with you
