Not really a laugh - a predator at work.

But you have to admire the sheer gaul and cheek of the puffer!

He doesn't eat the crab, but something else that was already resting on the sand.

What a little stinker! That's exactly what I said when I saw him do it - "You rotten little stinker!"

aksamit, I agree, he didn't look quite healthy. Aside from the gray belly, what was that stuff all over him?
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

The owner of the vid said he didn't eat the crab.

It is different. It is the stone which he is biting.
