Crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting "tail" (abdomen) (Greek: βραχύς / brachys = short,οὐρά / οura = tail), usually entirely hidden under the thorax. They live in all the world's oceans, in fresh water, and on land, are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton and have a single pair of claws. Many other animals with similar names – such as hermit crabs, king crabs, porcelain crabs, horseshoe crabs and crab lice – are not true crabs.
Crabs are generally covered with a thick exoskeleton, composed primarily of calcium carbonate, and armed with a single pair of chelae (claws). Crabs are found in all of the world's oceans, while many crabs live in fresh water and on land, particularly in tropical regions. Crabs vary in size from the pea crab, a few millimetres wide, to the Japanese spider crab, with a leg span of up to 4 metres (13 ft).
About 850 species of crab are freshwater, terrestrial or semi-terrestrial species; they are found throughout the world's tropical and semi-tropical regions. They were previously thought to be a monophyletic group, but are now believed to represent at least two distinct lineages, one in the Old World and one in the New World.

Well neither had Coyote and the crew until they ventured down to the La Jolla beachfront of San Diego, California to film their new series Beyond the Tide. These Pelagic Red Crabs, also known as “Tuna Crabs”, were absolutely EVERYWHERE and what's even crazier is sometimes they have been known wash up on Southern California’s beaches by the millions…yes that’s right we said MILLIONS. Now this phenomena doesn’t occur very often but when it does it truly is a sight to behold. The Pelagic Red Crab is actually a species of Squat Lobster that lives most of its life suspended in the pelagic region of the ocean far out at sea. It is actual...
THE BIGGEST CRAB IN THE WORLD IS.... Crabs come in all different shapes and sizes, but the crab animal that is the biggest crab, is the Japanese Spider Crab. The Japanese spider crab has the greatest leg span of any arthropod, reaching 3.8 metres (12 ft) from claw to claw. The body may grow to a size of 40 cm or 16 in (carapace width) and the whole crab can weigh up to 19 kilograms (42 lb). The males have the longer chelipeds; Females have much shorter chelipeds, which are shorter than the following pair of legs. Apart from its outstanding size, the Japanese spider crab differs from other crabs in a number of ways. The first pleopods of males are unusually twisted, and its larvae appear primitive. The crab is orange, with white spots along the legs. It is reported to have a gentle dispo...

Marylanders prepare hard shells and oth...
I have always hated to toss a live crab into a boiling pot of water or steam! SO, now I make an ice slurry and toss them into that first, to slow them down, then pop the top, clean them out and cook them up! It's really easy, really fast, makes very little mess and is the most humane method i know of! Give it a try next time you're going to cook a pot of live crabs!
I've got a big bag of crabs here
I'm gonna put them in my mouth, oh yes!
I'm gonna run around the town on a market day
Everyone will look at me and say
I've got a mouthful of crabs!
