Crab molting time-lapse vid LINKY

That's got to itch!

Amazing to watch though - kind of surprised the crab doesn't start eating the shell to capture some of the nutrients.

Neat trick, I'd love to see him get back in there though

I can sit and watch Attenborough programmes all day long... definitely the best in the business, and almost worth paying the TV license for all by itself!!!

That's menthol!!!

I don't have a problem with shedding the shell, but when it yanked it's legs out, that freaked me out!!!
