Crabs

Crabs come in many colours and sizes. They have legs that are for walking and two pincers at the front for grabbing food and fighting. A crab can see in every direction because its eyes turn around on two stalks on top of its head. Two feelers between its eyes allow the crab to touch and smell. A crab is protected by a hard shell. When the crab grows too big for its shell the crab slips out the back and grows a new shell. This takes about three to four days.
