Disoriented Crayfish rescued from the dangerous streets of Changsha

UMM HELLO delusional Mister Crayfish what are you doing on a busy city street?

Just trying to cross it, right. Brilliant.

Fearing that he would become a crayfish pancake under the tires of 1,000,000 cars speeding by, we had no choice but to carry out an aggressive relocation plan involving a black bag.

 

See! Water, minnows, grass, mud -- NO SPEEDING CAR TIRES -- you'll be safe here.

But Mister Crayfish was not appreciative. He was ticked.

Like a boxer, a scorpion boxer, he was bouncy on his toes and kept his fists up and ready to strike.

His beady little eyes darted around, sizing up each potential opponent as he slowly backed toward the water. He was ready to fight to the death.

Smooth, real smooth.

You didn't see that three inch cliff behind you and now you've fallen and can't get up.

You thought it was all over, but see, Titus is trying to help you not harm you.

Uprighted but unconvinced, Mister Crayfish recovers his on-guard stance and resumes backing away until his body is half-submerged in the water. Then a moment's pause and suddenly, swiftly, a flash of exoskeleton tail as he spin-dives into the water and out of sight.

Farewell! We saved your life today, but don't mention it.

Wishing you -- you, yes you reading this right now -- a very happy weekend.
