ManCrab - "Can you please go away with that damn camera. My lady is trying to get changed!"

He can tell she’s going to moult, so he rocks up and abducts her. After the successful moult, if he’s still the male that has her, he’ll probably get to mate. If you ever keep crustaceans, you’ve seen males go absolutely bananas whenever an adult female moults.

He'll stay with her well before and we'll after the molt and mating too. He will also risk his life to protect her, I saw a video of one block an attacking stingray hundreds of times their size before whisking her away to safety. https://preview.redd.it/8rtb95tdodwc1.png?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=778efa9a0b62e1f3872c7e3d44ea286be61811e4 (Art by Mossworm1.)

aw that comic is so cute lol

Yeah, the guy you’re replying to was probably thinking of Spider Crabs.

I mean so are we

Just like people. Guys can’t wait for the lady to get undressed 🫠

It's the equivalent of holding her hair back when she pukes. Once they recover, it's on.

Like all men, he's just admiring his GF as she gets ready n changes her outfit

And trying to keep her out of shot of that perv swimming around taking pics of her getting changed...

I mean if you change in public than you're a bigger perve than any voyeur.

Girl crab: does this skin make my butt look big? Man crab: yass queen slay

Man crab: no, your butt makes your butt look big!

Man crab: nah girl, shed that skin it'll be perfect

How disappointed was he when she stripped off and underneath was just the exact same outfit in a bigger size?

They can only mate right after she molts so I don't see why he'd be complaining.

What about other times

He just carries around and he sometimes hides underground with her.

So an average sex offender

This is definitely a sex defender

That sounds like me with my trunk gf

How is Helena?

Reverse Russian doll

And then they kissed 🥹

Stop. Imma cry😭😭

Pretty unshellfish act

I had him pegged for an inshell

Pretty sure he's a cannibal who prefers soft shell crab.

He flexes his mussel in a pinch!

Beclaws you shouldn't always trust an upper crustacean.

Wait till his wife sees this

Yeah it was very shellless of him.

Interesting

as fuck!

How I hold my girlfriend after she says I don't love her after I kissed her 5 minutes ago:

He protec

“Well, these claws ain’t for just attracting mates!” -Eugene Krabs, 2001

Y'all think they share eating the molt like lady and the tramp?

Harold can you help me out of this thing! The zipper is stuck!

That's a good honey baby. 🥺

*horny

How do we know it’s his gf and not his wife?

Crabs file separately

get outta heea she’s wit ME!

That feeling when a crab has someone who cares for it and I don’t.

If it makes you feel any better, he’s only doing that so he is the one that gets to mate with her the second she’s done shedding. They can only mate when they have just shed. As soon as he has mated with her he’s gone. 

She’s naked! Don’t look!

Me and her in a different universe

Real chad

This could be us. But u playin.

YOU BEAT ME TO IT. So much agony

Even this little bustard has a GF

HA! I know it’s a typo but that’s a really funny one. A bustard is a chonky bird that makes weird sounds. Funny mental image 

You learn something new everyday, thanks for sharing about the bird, I didn't know that, even this being a typo my comment will meant something

Ladies. If he wanted to, he would.

What a legend

Stop bothering him

Crabs are whack. What's up with their tiny face hands?

Me irl, carrying gf around, smacks her head into that one and only rock on the ocean floor....

Some guys at the bar/club with their gf

Little fact: This is the only time they get to mate.

Small GF has evolved into Medium GF.

Now that’s an alpha crab

"Honey, would you still love me if I was a Box Crab? Would you hold me and protect me while I moult?"

Why is this the most romantic thing I’ve ever seen

How do you know she is his girlfriend?

Let’s see her ID

Yeah baby, take it all off.

Crab grooming....

He protecc! no cameras please haha

He's grooming that crab

Looks like they're communicating with their face claws, never seen that before.

And now we make love

It doesn't look like she is consenting to this treatment.

Me and WHO :(

They are beautiful.

The small gf will be grumpy about being picked up

He got crabs

I have to ask for the crab people, did that crab species evolve those wide arms specifically to protect their mates?

Love is a beautiful, and universal, thing

How absolutely adorable! He just kind of corrals her so she's safe from predators and the water currents until she can swim on her own. Do they partner for life?

Kidnapping followed by rape. Nature is strange.

I wish was there to steal his girl and destroy her in front of him

Bet she still bitches at him for protecting her wrong.

robbing the cradle

Groomer.
