▲'''Crabs''' are [[Decapoda|decapod]] [[crustacean]]s of the infraorder '''Brachyura''', which typically have a very short projecting "tail" ({{lang-el|βραχύ''/''brachy}} = short, ''ουρά''/''οura'' = tail), or where the reduced abdomen is entirely hidden under the thorax. They are generally covered with a thick [[exoskeleton]], and armed with a single pair of [[claw|chelae]] (claws). 6,793 species are known.<ref>Walters, Martin & Johnson, Jinny. ''The World of Animals''. [[Bath, Somerset]]: [[Parragon]], 2007.</ref> Crabs are found in all of the world's oceans. Additionally, there are also many [[fresh water|freshwater]] and [[Land crab|terrestrial crabs]], particularly in tropical regions. Crabs vary in size from the [[pea crab]], only a few millimetres wide, to the [[Japanese spider crab]], with a leg span of up to 4&nbsp;m.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://oceanlink.island.net/records.html |title=Biggest, Smallest, Fastest, Deepest: Marine Animal Records |publisher=OceanLink |accessdate=2006-09-22}}</ref>
