Ep. 132 Crustaceans Pt 2: Everybody Wants to Be a Crab

25 minutes

Hi everyone! In part 1 of crustaceans we laid down a lot of groundwork on what crustaceans even *are*. But here in part 2 we wanted to spend some time talking about a hot topic in crustacean-world: "carcinization" aka "stuff keeps evolving into crabs"! But not *all* crustaceans are yearning for crabdom -- there is a specific group called anomurans that really dig that crab vibe. Learn about them and what it takes to be a crab on this episode of Petri Dish!
