Crab

Told you you could find them in soup!

Crab

Why so crabby, Mr. Crab? Well, I think you'd be mighty crabby too if you had a thick, hot, smelly exoskeleton that is hard to get out of! Crabs can be as big as 13 feet long, or as tiny as a pea. Crabs are quite common and can be found almost anywhere, even in your soup.

Crabs come armed with claws, and communicate by using them. Crabs will most commonly fight over female crabs, and during storms, they will fight over hiding holes in the beach. Crabs also commonly walk sideways, giving us the term "crab-walk".

Even though many innocent crabs are killed and turned into fresh meat and soup, many still survive. It's a wonder even more crabs aren't killed, just for pinching people so frequently ..... but I won't go into that. Crabs are omnivores, and eat everything from algae to fish to bugs to just about anything.
