Why do crabs walk sideways?
In: Biology
if you look at a crab closely its actually fairly simpel to understand why
this ia flat and wide creatures with an exoskeleton and its limbs all on the sidde of the main body, most of their joint are simple hinges and arent very mobile at the shoulder.
a crab can move forward just fine, ableit slow but they are a lot more effective at taking advantage of their from and move sideways+ that type of moiton is more useful in the other thnig crabs do well: burrowing
