    This episode is all about Leon... Brady takes Leon out of his aquarium, cleans it, and measures and weighs Leon to see how much he's grown since being rescued from the grocery store.

    This is the first Leon video since my dad died.he wasn’t an online person but when I found this channel and the first video posted on Leon I thought it was amazing that a grocery store lobster was saved.I should the video to my dad and he fell in love with Leon and his story.every time a new post about Leon came out he was so stoked to see how the little guy was doing.anyway just wanted to say thank you to you and Leon for putting a smile on my dads face that means the world to me thank you.

He looks so much better than when you brought him home. His overall growth and coloring are amazing, specially his blue highlights! His is such a great story. Thank you; sincerely, thank you.

      I'd rather be eaten than locked in a box year after year after year. Try studying consciousness even just a little, there's no reality where a creature is happy in captivity separate from others. Why you feel the need to defend it is puzzling and slightly concerning. You've decided to stick up for captivity to such an extent that you need to send a stranger a comment like "Nice bait though" in order to get a rise from them. Hope the year picks up for you and your predictably annonomous profile picture.

    ❤ Wow! That interaction between the small crab going to the big crab looking for safety and the big crab protecting the small crab with his claws is really amazing. It teaches so much about the species and that they also have feelings and reactions. The small crab obviously felt threatened and was scared and looking for the big crab for safety was adorable.

    • @matthewk4245
      @matthewk4245 4 месяца назад +5

      I'm not sure it was actually protecting the small Crab. It raised and open its claws when it saw the small Crab approaching, which makes me think it was actually preparing to defend itself. However, it didn't attack the small Crab when it hid under it, which I find odd. Most crabs are highly defensive and would attack another Crab that got too close.

      It doesn't hurt to look at them that way, but it is worth remembering that thoughts and feelings are mediated by hormones, neurotransmitters, and patterns of synaptic connections. The anatomy and physiology of a crustacean's nervous system is so drastically different from our own that we can do ourselves (and them) a disservice by projecting our own desires and motivations onto them. I'm not sure how much effort crabs even invest into their young once hatched, but I doubt it is very much so I would be genuinely shocked by a parent/child relationship like that. I know there are animals with sexual dimorphism that has one sex being significantly larger than the other, so maybe the big crab was protecting its supply of sperm or eggs if it was protecting at all.

      Shore crabs hide under rocks when they are scared. The bigger crab probably looked like a rock at first glance, so the little one went to hide under it. The larger one may have not attacked because was keeping an eye on the human (the bigger threat).

      many are not taken care of with interest and love, neither do they usually have the benefit of being the sole focus of their caretakers, often resulting in wrong sized equipments and maybe lack of specialized saltwater equipment. many simply bypass a water chiller due to costs. or forgets to check up on the salt ballance in the tank regularly(once per day)
      saltwater can be hard to keep running in itself, add such a big impressive species as a lobster and most give up pretty fast.

I grew up lobster fishing (trapping) in Maine and have heard of conservation efforts to keep lobsters in captivity and to help them reproduce in order to restock the waters, like a fish farm.

    I forget which species of crab it is, but when it's time to molt, they gather together in great numbers. They then take turns shedding to protect each other. Those with stronger shells are on top, while those who just shed or are in the process of doing so are on the bottom of the pile. It could very well be protection on the part of the larger crab.

    the fact that this lobster was saved from a grocery store back in 2021 and lived since then just makes me happy, because i watched the first video back when it got released in a night where I couldn't sleep because of my new and first covid shot. I've followed along his journey and check back in here and there to see if there are any news to his life and story now being a pet in a safe place. And oh yes, he grew bigger.

      Conscious thought is an instinct, just a more complex one than the subconscious "monkey see, monkey do" responses that we usually associate with the term 'instinct'.
      Now, where we draw the line of acceptable callousness is subjective, as we too need to consume other life forms in order to survive, whether flora, fauna or fungi; so you're free to tell yourself whatever you need to for the sake of your own peace of mind.

    I can tell he seems to be relaxed and not freaking out when you were interacting with him in the bucket ..

    Leon's fighting like he thinks you're trying to take him back to the grocery store!

    Jett got so big! I love his fluffy tail. All the cats seem to love Leon just like all of us do! I'm happy Leon is enjoying his renovated sea-condo! ❤❤

    14:59 It looks like he’s crossing his claws to show his displeasure when he clamps onto you 😂

    Your hands in the pictures gives perspective to the size of Leon and the crabs. They are all bigger than I had imagined!

    Very interesting Leon didn't struggle when you loaded him in the net to put him back in his aquarium. Almost like he knew where he was going.

    Just spent a good chunk of time catching up on Leon. One of my own three legged cats has been watching with me. He loves watching your videos and seemed pleased with the addition of the kittens. The music, the cats/kittens, and strange things he would never get to see otherwise make for great enrichment for him. :)

    I think the buzzing is Leon's way of saying variety is not the spice of his life 🤣 Always love getting updates on Leon and his cat friends!

    Can't get over just how incredible Leon's colors have become, that vibrant blue on his "biceps" and legs along with the bright orange on his tail and claws. Who knew an American Lobster could be so beautiful!
