Kids Corner: Interesting crab facts
If you spot a crab, the first thing you might notice is the way it moves. But do you know why these curious crustaceans walk to the side instead of forward?
Crabs scuttle sideways because their shells are wider than they are long. As a result, they can’t fully extend their legs. In addition, crabs have five pairs of limbs that are close together, making it impossible for them to move backward and forward. Consequently, because of their unique anatomy, crabs have no choice but to walk sideways.
Nevertheless, crabs are surprisingly fast and can reach speeds of up to 7 miles per hour or more. Therefore, you’d probably lose if you ever got into a race with one.
Finally, crabs have a very useful superpower. If they lose a leg, it’ll eventually grow back.
