The apex crab-eaters would slowly evolve to be more crab-like.

How many times have they evolved into grass eaters?

I’m not aware of any ant-eaters evolving to eat grass

Everyone is bighype about carcinization- crablike this, convergent evolutionary pressures that- nobody ever mentions arborification. Did you know that ‘trees’ evolved independently dozens of times? Trees and crabs, that’s what we’ll find on alien planets I tells ya.

Hear me out - a crab shaped anteater
What the hell is wrong with you
Ok, then. What about an ant shaped crabeater?
I’m not sure if he eats shellfish but…

Who is that and why is his cranium so large?
It’s Ant of the British tv hosting duo Ant & Dec.
As for the cranium, I assume it’s congenital 🤷
It’s the easy way out. Ants are always plentiful.
If everything evolves into crabs eventually, wouldn’t the next step of evolution be crab-eaters?

Cursed glory hole
Now I fancy some chicatana and escamoles tacos!
I can only imagine the frustration of early anteaters as they have to leave most of the ants because they didn’t evolve long tongues yet.
