I can barely hold it.
Guy Raz, when you're a crab, the entire underwater world is your toilet.
Well, I mean, I'm sure some do.
But the smart and savvy blue crabs know that pee floats downstream.
Well, so in a crab-eat-crab world, or really any predator-prey situation, pea chemistry like this can really affect the balance of whole entire ecosystems.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, so starting with plants and ending with animals.
For example, a grasshopper eats grass.
Yeah.
And then a frog eats the grasshopper.
And a snake eats the frog.
Go on.
And an eagle eats the snake.
Oh, okay, I got it.
And in this case, mud crabs eat the oysters and the blue crabs eat the mud crabs.
Yep.
And when the pee starts to flow downstream, it acts as a silent alarm, warning the mud crabs to get out of dodge.
Yeah.
Yep.
And crazy as it sounds, these secret silent pee signals might actually be nature's way of protecting oyster populations.
