Are crabs still winning and is there a word like carcinization to describe the mammal -> anteater pipeline?
Zotification.
Very cool Nature, I love it 👍
The parallels with crabs / carcinization was the first thing I thought of when I saw the headline.
“This animal eats ants, so let’s call it an Anteater.”
“What about this other one that also eats ants?”
“Uh, I dunno, Numbat I guess?”
It makes sense. Ants are delicious!
Become a crab. Become an anteater.
¿Por qué no los dos?
With CRISPR CAS9, we can become both. While WW3 is on the doorstep, WW4 will be fought between the crabby ant-eaters and the ant-eating crabs.
Anteaterization.
Hahaha, I thought the crab counter was at about 5? Ez win for the anteaters. I mean there were some bivalve boys but there can only be one, true clam.
Yeah, I’m a crab dude and am not switching to anteater now, this is the delicious hill I die on. But I’ll pay them their rheumatism.
