Interesting & Amazing Information on Crabs
The teeth of a crab are in its stomach.
The biggest crab till date was found in Maryland. It was a male and measured 9 inches.
After losing its claw, a crab can grow it back.
Crabs are also called decapods, since they have ten (deca) legs (pods). The first pair of legs is modified into claws, biologically known as chelae.
Crabs are crustaceans i.e. unlike most of the other animals; they do not have an endoskeleton. Rather, they have an exoskeleton that acts like a shied for their body.
Crabs are also arthropods i.e. they have segmented appendages, just like cockroach, butterfly, housefly, etc.
Unlike most of the other creatures, crabs do not have separate thorax and abdomen. Rather, in most of the crabs, they are joined together and known as cephalothoraxes.
The male crabs have narrow abdomens, while the female crabs have broader abdomens.
Japanese Spider Crab can have a walking leg span of 3 to 4 m, which can go to 8 m when outstretched.
Japanese Spider Crab is the oldest crab of the world and is also believed to be the most deep-living crab as well as the one with the longest lifespan.
Hermit Crabs, King Crabs, Horseshoe Crabs and Porcelain Crabs are not true crabs. This is because they are not decapods.
Fiddler Crabs have a single large claw on one side, which they can raise in an action that looks similar to that of a person waving.
The most colorful crab in the world is probably the Sally Lightfoot Crab. It has red, orange, yellow and white colors.
The species of crab that is consumed the most in the world is the Japanese Blue Crab or the Horse Crab.
Now you can tell that to your teacher if she/he gives you a bad grade.
