Crab Trivia
Some species of crabs live up to 100 years, if a fisherman doesn't catch them first.
Worldwide, we consume over 1.5 million tons per year.
Crabs have 10 limbs. As a result, they are often called the "Spider of the sea".
They can lay 2,000 eggs at a time.
The shell is their skeleton on outside of its body. It is called caraspace.
There are over 5,000 species.
There are salt water and fresh water varieties.
A group of crabs is called a "cast".
They range in size from 5 inches in diameter to 13 feet across!
All crabs have two very strong front claws (pincers). They use them like a vise for crushing objects.
Crabs communicate by flapping their pincers and drumming their claws.
Crabs can move in any direction. When a claw or leg is severed, it can regenerate over time.
