Animal Facts:
Cancer pagurus, also known as the edible crab or brown crab, is a fascinating marine creature found in the North Sea, North Atlantic Ocean, and possibly the Mediterranean Sea. Known for its reddish-brown oval shell with a "pie crust" edge and black-tipped claws, this crab can grow up to 10 inches wide and weigh over 6 pounds!
These crabs are nocturnal hunters, feasting on mollusks and crustaceans, and they have a quirky habit of digging pits to uncover buried prey. They are also Olympic-level hiders, spending their days buried in sand or tucked into rocky crevices.
Interestingly, Cancer pagurus is a culinary favorite in Europe, especially in the UK, where it’s the main catch in the region's largest crab fishery. With over 60,000 tonnes caught annually, these crabs play a crucial role in the local seafood industry.
Living up to 30 years (or even 100 years in rare cases), these crabs are not only delicious but also important for marine ecosystems. Just watch out for their natural predator: the octopus!🦀
