Introduction
If you go near a river and you see something swimming in the water it could be a fish, lizard and a rock but no, these are actually crayfish. These ̈Crayfish ̈ might sound creepy but actually they are not actually that scary with really sharp pincers on their legs and even bigger pincers on their head. When you are nearby a crayfish be careful to not to let the crayfish pince you! If you want to learn more about these mysterious creatures this article is a real good choice for you. Now let’s stop with this talking and get started on this Crayfish article
Protection
Let’s start with how Crayfish protect themselves if predators are attacking them. For example the carapace on the back of their body has a really rough shells with bumps. If I have to rate how hard those bumps in how hard they are from 0- 100 I would say about 82% . Also if the carapace doesn’t help then they have pincers for defence or
even attack. If a threat is coming they raise their pincers up high and try to scare away the predators. If the predator doesn’t care the fight begins. Mostly all of their predators come out during the day but this crayfish avoids all that by going out at night. Now let’s move onto our next subtopic.
Behavior
Now that I told you about protection I should tell you some things that they do if they’re are scared or if a threat is trying to attack them. It’s also like if you try to touch these strange creatures they will pull their body back inside their carapace and then in a blink of an eye they will go really fast backwards. Just like I said in protection these
Crayfish go out at night and stay in at the day and also they use pincers to defend or to attack. Now let us go to baby world
Offspring
Finally we get on to the part everyone in the whole world wants to know about Crayfish Offspring! One thing about offspring is that these babies start of with an egg and a female Crayfish has about 100+babies at one time. Also with the babies a female Crayfish can’t shoot back as fast as they can so that really destroys how they couldprotect themselves. Now let’s get to the main part of this section. Just after when they are after eggs they stay in their mother’s tail and in about 2 weeks they take their first steps! If the Crayfish baby is startled they will run quickly back to theirs mother’s tail. At about 4-6 weeks old they can go and explore the ̈the real world ̈. Before they are free
they are almost as small as an L.
