A wildlife cameraman had to save his camera from the animal he was trying to film.

The animal in question was a crab in which the camera was sitting just outside his hole. The crab climbs out avoiding the camera to see if it is a predator. After realizing the camera isn't moving, the crab grabs it and begins to descend back into the hole.

Luckily the owner of the camera was nearby and retrieved it before the crab could make it all the way back in the hole.

And who says the internet doesn't love weird animal videos, as of this posting the video had somewhere around 144,000 views.
