THE WILD-MAN'S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES - EPISODE 33 - BLUE CRAB
Fresh, live Blue Crabs in the wild!
For the aquatic species, I try to keep the videos a little shorter. Being on camera may be hard enough for them without having to worry about being out of the water too long.
The Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) is another incredible sea creature that often winds up on the plates of some hungry humans. The Blue Crab industry brings in millions of dollars each year, and I too find them to be delicious. They can be found along the Atlantic Coast from North America all the way down to Argentina. The one in this video was caught in the Gulf of Mexico. What a beautifully colored crab!
Like many other crabs, they are omnivores and will eat both plants and other creatures, whether live or dead. I really appreciate animals like Snapping Turtles, Turkey Vultures, and Blue Crabs that help clean up the carcasses of dead animals by eating them. For more info, check out my video!
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

What with your left hand on the back of your head?
Did you hurt yourself again?
Papa, you need to be more careful!
Head wound, lots of blood.
cool post again :)
I try!
Those claws look vicious. Did he manage to get your finger? Looks quite nasty!!
That crab got you good @papa-pepper. One of those photos look like a murder scene.
Also, not sure if beautiful is the right description for a crab. I try to reserve that word for something I would like to wake up next to in bed. lol.
Actually, the blood was from a recent head wound. Thanks for noticing though!
Oh wow, stop risking life and death just for STEEM blogs! We need you around @papa-pepper.
Very funny you mention that, I've got a post ready to go for this evening that makes fun of that whole thing. I'll link it here for you when I post it.

Cool job!!!
Thanks for sharing your wild adventure, this crab is huge.
We saw a lot bigger, but did not catch them. Thank you.
These ones are really very tasty @papa-pepper! These were the ones that @little-peppers were catching last time! Lovely!
Cheers
@progressivechef
Yup, I taught them, and they taught Monster Truck!
Monster Truck is learning so many great things in his early age, he will be a superpapa-pepper very soon!
You are really a wild man...
The wild is where I like to spend my time.
Man... Having spent my childhood on the Chesapeake Bay....I can attest to my love of the blue crab.
A few traps, a bottle of bourbon and a bag of chicken necks have made many a lovely day.
Now I'm in the mood for a crab boil.
Not sure what to think about that honestly...
Late teens into young adulthood to be more specific...lol
My enjoyment in crabbing started early, the addition of bourbon came a few years later...lol
Okay, I got it now.
very good...
Thank you.
