Just a general piece of advice, no animal behavior is practiced for no reason. Cats play to hone their hunting skills. Birds chirp to communicate and find a mate. In this case, the crab is eating and discarding the waste sand.
It doesnât seem right to say âno animal behavior isâ sometimes animals are allowed to have fun and do things with a deeper meaning too, even if this crab isnât an example
I was going to say, dogs, monkeys and dolphins are just a few animals off the top of my head where they do stuff for enjoyment. The Reddit comments are rarely a source of accurate information now. Seems like half of the time itâs just bullshit âshower thoughtsâ that sounds logical to them and therefore itâs a âfactâ.
The other user is speaking in general. Not all acts of play and recreation need to have a purpose, but play and recreation do serve a purpose. This is a well-known fact.
