Background • Crabs are more active after school hours. • Zoologists try either to observe them at other times or to look for evidence that certain behaviors have taken place. • Example: May not observe them eating but since the food was moved, mashed, or disappeared, you can assume that they ate it.

  6. Record observations, discoveries, and questions in notebook. • What body parts do you see the crab using on land and in water? • Share • Draw a picture of the crab in its habitat.

  7. Extensions • View a video about life in a salt marsh or mangrove swamp. • Locate local salt marshes and other wetlands on a map of the United States.

Research these crabs and compare them with fiddler crabs. Why are fiddlers not as popular pets?
