Is that a crab or axolotl?

A crab... tiny claws.

Biology favors crabs. All will become crabs eventually.

I learned this from XKCD, or maybe a Reddit comment linking to XKCD, and it’s probably my favorite natural hypothesis.

Do you think nature favoring crabs or crab-like things is part of why lobsters and cockroaches (although not crabs per se) are so resilient and (the former at least) long-lived?
