Read the passage and answer all the questions.

Under the Sea and On the Beach

Crabs can live anywhere in the sea or fresh water. Some crabs live in warm seas but
some can live under the ice in Antarctica. Some don’t live in water at all, but live on
the land. There are over 6,000 kinds of crab in the world.

r
pe
The Pea Crab is less than a centimetre wide. This is the smallest crab. Others are

Pa
much larger. The Japanese Spider Crab is unusually big. It can measure four metres
across. It lives deep in the Pacific Ocean and can live up to 100 years. Most crabs live
between three to six years. Some crabs are very brightly coloured. Robber Crabs are

e
pl
unusual. They live on land and cannot swim. They climb trees to look for food.

m
Crabs are very different, but they all have five pairs of legs. The front pair of legs has
Sa
claws. Sometimes the claws are huge, sometimes not. They are for fighting and
eating. If a crab loses a claw in a fight, it will grow another one. Females have
smaller claws than males. Some crabs have teeth in their stomachs. Crabs all have a
ns

small tail, which we don’t see. Crabs also have a hard shell to protect them from
io

danger.
