Crabs (Brachyura) are a group of crustaceans. They have ten jointed legs, two with scissors, an external skeleton, eyes on stalks and a flattened body. The tail is short and folded over and is located under the body. About 6800 species are known. Most live in the sea, but some crabs live in fresh water or on land. They eat both plant and animal foods. Bait is also eaten. Crabs themselves are also eaten, such as by squid, fish and humans. We often find crabs on the stamps of 'island kingdoms'. With this they show the richness of the sea and hope to stimulate tourism.
