A crayfish in Vietnam was caught on camera shedding its old shell in a rare glimpse of this miracle of nature.

Like all crustaceans, crayfish have shells that limit their growth - that means that in order to grow, they have to shed their old shell.

This footage filmed on June 27 in Vietnam shows the animal bending with all its strengths to break its old shell and then wiggle out of it. Once free, it quickly escapes into deeper waters.

Video captured the rare moment when a crayfish peels off its shell quickly in Tuyen Quang, Viet Nam.
According to the man, he was walking on the shore of the lake when he saw the shrimp approaching the shore. The shrimp then quickly shed the old shell and put on a new one.
The man is very surprised This is the first time he has seen this moment. He thought the shrimp would grow on its own and not shed its shell.
After completing the cover change. The shrimp quickly dived below and left behind the old shell
