Fun Facts

Did you know that crabs don't just hide under rocks for fun? They do it to stay safe from bigger ocean animals that might want to eat them, like hungry fish or octopuses! The rocks provide a perfect shelter where they can rest and feel secure. Crabs also have hard shells, called an exoskeleton, which acts like armor. As they grow, they shed this shell in a process called molting, and then a new, bigger one grows in its place. Most crabs can walk sideways, but some can also move forward and backward! There are thousands of different types of crabs all over the world, living in oceans, fresh water, and even on land. They are truly incredible creatures!
