Coincidentally, I just heard about a pet/tame duck (called 'Duck') who is regularly bodysurfing with their human in Australia. No idea where crabs come into that.

Up until the moment I opened the video, I read every instance of "crow" in the comic and explanation as "cow"... Was a bit disappointed by the video! 141.101.105.40 19:39, 29 January 2021 (UTC)

Have a read of "Are we smart enough to know how smart animals are?" by Fran de Waal (W.W. Norton)

I too independently evolved into talking about carcinisation constantly. Hm. 162.158.34.28 00:12, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
