Animal Facts:

The Chinese mitten crab (Eriocheir sinensis), also known as the Shanghai hairy crab, is a medium-sized burrowing crab native to East Asia. It is famous for its furry claws that resemble mittens and is considered a delicacy in Chinese cuisine, especially prized for its roe.

These crabs are catadromous, meaning they migrate from freshwater to saltwater to breed, completing a unique life cycle. While essential in culinary culture, they are also classified as an invasive species in Europe and North America, where their burrowing habits cause ecological and infrastructural damage.

Notably, crabs from Yangcheng Lake in China are highly sought after for their sweeter meat, although counterfeit crabs have become a challenge in the market.
