A crab is any decapod (ten-legged) crustacean
of the division Brachyura, with a broad,
rather round, upper body shell (carapace) and
a small abdomen tucked beneath the body.
Crabs are related to lobsters and crayfish.
Mainly marine, some crabs live in fresh water
or on land. They are alert carnivores and
scavengers. They also have a typical sideways
walk.
