freshwater crayfish
Small river crustacean
A freshwater crayfish is a small lobster-like crustacean found in rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds rather than salt water.
They inhabit freshwater environments across most continents, living under rocks and in burrows.
Also called crawfish or crawdads in American regional speech: We caught freshwater crayfish in the creek behind the house.
