- Footage shows four live crabs scampering around a hot frying pan in China
- One makes a dash for freedom and somehow manages to turn off the cooker
- The video was captured in China’s Jiangsu Province, to the north of Shanghai
This is the moment a crab made a heroic dash for freedom from a hot frying pan – and somehow managed to turn off the cooker.
The crustacean was among four being prepared for a meal at a restaurant in Lianyungang in China’s Jiangsu Province, to the north of Shanghai.
Footage shows the creatures scampering around in liquid in a hot frying pan, their fate apparently sealed.
But at the last second, one of the crabs tries to save the day, using its claws to clamber out – before hitting the off switch on the electric hob that was about to cook them all alive.
