Why did he do that?

for the same reason a snake sheds it's skin. it was to big for it's old shell.

I was surprised to see this video on here. I first saw it on PZ Myers' blog Pharyngula, "Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal". Perhaps Acca's a reader?

Interesting post on how it all works here, for those who care:

No, not at all! It's just funny how stuff makes the rounds, goes "viral", whatever. I saw it in one context, and then to see it here was another, strongly juxtaposed with the first. And it's kind of fun to ponder how you may have found it on that other site, sneaking around with the atheists... :haha:

Yup, a neat video! :nod:

Funny I ran across it at the same place. I'm a regular reader. Loved the post explaining the process too.

Freeky. :crazy: I'm amazed they get their legs out so easily. Mmmmm, crab. :slobber:
