Fun fact: Through a process of convergent evolution called carcinisation, crustaceans have evolved into crabs several times.
It is inevitable! All shall become crab!
That's my plan too! I hope the ecological niche is still free
Did they ever find the missing king crabs?
You also have crabs become non crabs
It's also a highly debated theory.
Is it really? I figured it was just another textbook example of convergent evolution, as that is where I learned about it. I know my comment should have said 'evolved crab-like bodies' instead, as they'd still be genetically distinct, and not taxonomically true crabs. Now I feel like I have to read up on what the exact nature of the debate is.
