Blue Swimmer Crab Has Sex With, Buries Mate

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably sat at home wondering, aloud, “How, exactly, do swimming crabsPortunus pelagicus — get it on?” Well, thankfully someone took it upon themselves to record a happy crab couple, and now we know for sure. Two surprises: It involves a lot of carrying and a lot of burying. Also, since these handsome critters are also known as the “blue manna crab,” one wonders if they’re the source of all mana potions everywhere.

    Title is a bit misleading – the crab’s not burying its mate, really – both of them seem to be burying themselves (quite common for this type of fertilization).  But hey, keep on with your exaggerrated headlines.
