CrabsDefinition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crabs) True crabs are decapod crustaceans of the infraorder Brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting "tail", or where the reduced abdomen is entirely hidden under the thorax. Many other animals with similar names such as hermit crabs, king crabs, porcelain crabs, horseshoe crabs and crab lice are not true crabs. About 850 species of crab are freshwater, terrestrial or semi-terrestrial species. (Wikipedia) Preferred Units: N/A Scope Note: N/A Broader Terms | Narrower Terms | Related Terms |
