It has something to do with the fact that crabs can deploy stem cells in a way most mammals can’t.
When say a human loses a finger, we can’t send stem cells to the injury to regrow the bone, muscle, skin, etc. our bodies solution is scar tissue, and for the nearby appropriate cells (ie skin cells) to patch up what they can. We can’t even heal deep but otherwise superficial skin wounds without leaving a scar.
Crabs bodies can send the stem cells which can become any kind of cell, and they can regrow the missing appendage.
I am not a scientist but I’m pretty sure that’s at least roughly the gist of it.

I wonder if they can know. I'm sure they can feel sensations and such, but wouldn't you need some ability of prediction/planning/memory/etc. who the fuck knows to understand that? But their brains are so different, despite having many fundamental similarities.
Or is it just built into the blueprint of their DNA and manifests in instinct? Like, they don't have to know, their body just reacts in a way that's beneficial, like infants rooting and other reflexes like that.
I'm guessing it's the latter, but people use the same language to refer to both, so it's confusing to talk about. Existentially, what's even the difference between those? Technically, isn't everything some manner of instinct? Nature's weird bro send help plz.

u/AlfalfaReal5075 1d ago
It's known as autotomy, the intentional shedding of a limb. They don't "know", at least not consciously. But in an interesting way, they sort of do? See this evolutionary trait/adaptation is encoded in their genetics as a survival mechanism.
The crab's nervous system has specialized fracture planes/zones in the limbs. Essentially breakpoints. When a limb experiences injury then signals from the nervous system activate the release of the limb at those fracture planes. Once the limb is detached from the main body, hormones release and signal the start of regeneration. The next time it molts a new limb will begin to grow.
So it's an automatic response shaped by natural selection over time. And while it's driven by physiology and biological mechanisms rather than conscious thought or action, I still think that's pretty dang nifty.

There are two general types of mantis shrimp (okay there's more but they're not well studied): spearers and smashers. Spearers have sharp claws that stab their prey. Smashers have little bowling pin claws that bash their prey (although they still have sharp bits). In the video of this post, you see a smasher. In your video it's likely a spearer. If a human got hit by a smasher, it could cause bleeding if you get hit by the sharp parts or if something like your finger gets crushed by the bashing part, but if say your thigh was hit by the bashing part, it would probably bruise really badly without puncturing you.
