crustaceans
Lobsters and shrimp
Crustaceans are a large group of mostly aquatic arthropods with segmented bodies, jointed legs, and hard external shells.
The category includes crabs, lobsters, shrimp, crayfish, and barnacles.
Most crustaceans are marine, though some like crayfish live in fresh water, and a few like pill bugs have adapted to land.
