No not “those” kind! But now that I’ve gotten your attention, let’s take a look at this strange looking ocean creature. Crabs are decapods (ten legs) crustaceans (their skeleton is on the outside) and arthropods (they have segmented legs). Interesting FACTS:
If a crab loses a claw, it will grow back.
Males grow one larger claw. It’s purpose is to impress female crabs rather than for attack or defense.
A crab’s teeth are in its stomach.
Crabs can be carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores.
Crabs can also be cannibals and will sometimes feed on weaker crabs of the same species.
There are 6,793 species of crabs divided into 93 families.
King Crabs are not considered true crabs. Neither are Hermit, Porcelain, or Horseshoe Crabs.
We began on a light note, so we might as well end on one too. 🙂
Man walks into a restaurant and says, “Do you server crabs here?”
The hostess replies, “We serve everyone. Have a seat.”

Great blog, Sharon. I love all the crabs, especially the one with the circles on it. Now I know way more than I ever did about crabs and have a new joke.
Maybe you can get some crabs of your own. 🙂 LOL They are fun to work with…such an interesting shape!
Great use of colour and captures the imagery of the crab very well…Karen
Thank you Karen!
What a great collection Sharon! These would look great as a set on any wall! And if I owned a seafood restaurant I’d have these up for all to see! Happy Sunday!
Thank you Douglas!

I don’t like stuff with heads on it though lol.
I think it is the eyeballs that get most people. Softshell crab has the head….but all battered and fried…who cares!
