Awesome Crab

So let’s say you’re drying clothes outside of your window, and a shirt blows onto a ledge you can’t reach. Well, if you’re this clever person in Hangzhou, China, you enlist the help of a mitten crab to rappel down to the shirt and retrieve it for you like a living claw machine.

Injured in a failed attempt to steal a booby chick from its parents, this crab intentionally amputates its broken limb because he has dishonored his clan safe in the knowledge that it will grow again.
