freshwater crab
Stream-dwelling decapod
A freshwater crab is any crab that lives in rivers, streams, lakes, or other non-marine waters.
Unlike their ocean relatives, freshwater crabs complete their entire life cycle in fresh water.
They're found on most continents, often in tropical and subtropical regions, and some species are kept as aquarium pets.
