Crab Autopsy Results
DID YOU KNOW THAT...
The crab monsters aren't really like crabs at all!
Really, they're more like bugs - grasshoppers and spiders - and a group of creepy crawlies known as Solpugida. Soul-Pyoo-gi-da! Also known as Camel Spiders, Wind Scorpions, or Sun Spiders. They're like spiders, but they've got ten legs - just like our monstrous neighbors. The legs are arranged in a complete different way though. Camel Spiders' legs are all in a single row. Our crabs have three pairs of lower legs they use to run, and two pairs on their backs that can be used for grabbing like arms.
Lucky they don't have opposable thumbs right?
Like spiders and grasshoppers, they can crawl up walls and cling to ceilings, and they can jump huge distances! However they aren't built the same as spiders and grasshoppers at all. So how do they do it? Well, we need to see one in action. And the only way to do that is to catch one. You guys ready!? I know I am!
