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.”
