An easy park to "park and crab but heaps of muggles around so pick your moment carefully ......... about 2-3 metres off the path.
Crabs are decapods from the crustacean family. Decapod means "ten-footed".
Crabs have 10 legs, however, the first pair are its claws which are called chelae.
Crabs have a thick external skeleton called an exoskeleton. It is a shell made of calcium carbonate and provides protection for the soft tissue underneath.
Crabs live in all the world's oceans, in fresh water, and on land.
There are over 4500 species of crabs. Other animals with similar names such as hermit crabs, king crabs, porcelain crabs, horseshoe crabs and crab lice, are not true crabs.
Crabs usually have a distinct sideways walk. However, some crabs can walk forwards or backwards, and some are capable of swimming.
The collective name for the group of crabs is a cast.
Crabs communicate with each other by drumming or waving their pincers.
The Pea Crab is the smallest known species at just a few millimetres wide. The largest species is the Japanese Spider Crab, with a leg span of up to 4 m (13 ft).
Some crab species can naturally autotomise (shed) limbs such as their claws, which then regenerate after about a year.
BYO pen and extraction device as while the cache is small the log is tiny.
