I Caught A Crawfish Just Now.

[Snee]

Last pics of my little friend.

Check out the colouration on the claw here, if you boil them, that's the pigment that comes out all over the shell:

Was fighting me a little bit, got hold of my thumb, he didn't get a good grip tho'.

Then I put him him a bucket.

Before I went off to release him, the lens is a little bit screwy so he looks really small here aww.

At the edge of where I released him, The little sucker got hold of a strand of grass and started flicking his tail nearly got me to drop him.

Best photo I got from there, he was struggling so much when I held him, that the other photos were of my shoes, the ground, or me when one of my brothers who came along tried taking a picture.

Hawt shoes:

(and btw, it may look pretty narrow here, but it gets bigger downstream, nice little rockbridge and all, passes a grave site from the iron age I think, pretty neat place.

And right before he went in I saw something splash in there, either a fish or a frog.

So I'm thinking that something is gonna' end up as dinner in there tonight.

I'm rooting for the crawfish, as that thing is built like a little tank. And he is a gepper.

I think they're freshwater rather than salt, aren't they?

Yeah, cause I was getting ready to say, we have them by our ponds, and lakes and such.

And btw, we call them crawfish here too.

Again, great pics and what a cool adventure the little guy's had. I think he'll be leaner, tougher and more popular thanks to his ordeal, tonight he'll regale the other yabbies with tales of gep.

Did anyone notice my great joke there?

FFS I give you guys gold...

Errm, slight lapse of brain power, what do they breathe?

Ah wait, they breathe air I think, but need to keep the gills moist, so they need water too.

I did it right then

They breathe the disolved oxygen in the water, it&#39;s extracted by osmosis when it runs over the almost exposed blood vessels in the gills.

First live one I&#39;ve ever seen, I really did find the little fellow kinda&#39; charming.

And he looked damned cool. Pretty awesome the grip he had in those claws, I ended up pulling up that strand of grass instead of making him lose his grip

Sometime in the future I might get a big tank and keep some of his more exotic cousins, I know this pet store that keeps a few kinds.

And have some kind of fish-big brother broadcast live 24/7 using a webcam? Instead of evictions each week, how about the one with the least votes gets boiled?
