I am a first cousin of the lobster1. I have a soft body protected with a hard shell. When I grow too big I throw it off and then I get a new one, just like Mr. Lobster does.
I have five pairs of legs. Poor child, you have only one pair. I walk sideways. In walking I use the legs on one side of my body to push with and those on the other side to pull with. My short tail I carry folded under my body. See my two strong pairs of nippers! With these pinchers I defend myself from my enemies. I wouldn't hurt you, though.
Oysters2 and other small sea animals often attach themselves to my shell and stay there a long time.
Are you a "crabby" little person? I hope not.
