*BLUE CRABS*
(“callinectes sapidus”)
(greek ‘callinectes’ – “beautiful swimmer”)
(latin ‘sapidus’ – ‘savory’)
(jersey shore crabs)
(greek: βραχύς / brachys = short, οὐρά /οura = tail)
[‘crabs’ are ‘deca-pod crustaceans’ of the infra-order brachyura, which typically have a very short projecting ‘tail’ (aka ‘abdomen’)…]
(…usually entirely hidden under the ‘thorax’)
.
*they live…*
*in all the world’s oceans*
*in ‘fresh water’*
*on ‘land’*
.
(they are generally covered with a thick ‘exo-skeleton’ + have a single pair of ‘claws’)
(many other animals with similar names – such as…)
‘hermit crabs’
‘king crabs’
‘porcelain crabs’
‘horse-shoe crabs’
‘crab lice’
(…are NOT 🦀🌊“true crabs”🌊🦀)
*I REPEAT!!!*
*NOT ‘TRUE CRABS’!*
