Crab pliers (unique predation tool)

Crabs are arthropods that live in the ocean and fresh water. Their bodies are round and flat, with a hard shell on the back and a pair of curved pliers on the abdomen. The claws and feet of crabs are their most distinctive parts, and they are also the main tools they use for predation and defense. Among the crabs' pincers, the most unique one is their pincers, which is what we often call crab pincers.

Structure of crab pliers

A crab's claw foot consists of two parts: tongs and tongs. The tongs are usually thicker than the tongs and the jaws are wider. Small pliers are more slender and have sharper jaws than large pliers. Crab pliers have some special structures inside, such as muscles, ligaments and nerves. These organizations work together, which enables crabs to use their pliers for effective predation and defense.

The function of crab pliers

Crabs' pliers are their main weapons. They can hunt food with pliers, defend themselves against enemies, protect themselves and mate. Crab pincers are usually stronger than their bodies. They can hold objects of all sizes with pliers, and even hold the claws of other crabs. Crab pincers can also be used to defend against natural enemies, such as starfish, octopus and sharks. When encountering an enemy, the crab will clamp the enemy's body with pliers to protect its life.
