So if it's not crabs (carcinization), I guess it'll be anteaters?

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.

If everything evolves into crabs eventually, wouldn’t the next step of evolution be crab-eaters?

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

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.

It’s the easy way out. Ants are always plentiful.
