National Geographic Wild continues to explore the surprisingly human-like behaviors of the animal kingdom in “Animals, They’re Just Like Us!” This second episode, “House Hunting Hermit Crabs,” gives us a unique peek into the world of these crustaceans as they engage in a ritual that’s strangely familiar to anyone who’s ever moved: the frantic search for a new home.
But crab real estate isn’t about open houses and mortgage applications. It’s about shell swaps – a competitive scramble for the perfect pre-owned home, and yes, some crabs are pickier than others! There is also a tale of an unlikely bond between a chimp and its pet and an otter that behaves more like a criminal than a cuddly critter.
Tune in to National Geographic Wild on Friday, March 21st at 10:00 PM for “Animals, They’re Just Like Us!: House Hunting Hermit Crabs.”
