I Bet You Didn’t Know You Can Tell A Crab’s Gender By Flipping It Over‼️😱 Most people see a crab and only notice the claws, but the real secret is underneath. Crabs have a flap on the bottom of their body called an apron. A male crab usually has a narrow, pointed, triangle-shaped apron. A female crab has a wider, rounded apron because that space is used to hold eggs. Female rock crabs in Oregon can carry roughly 172,000 to 597,000 eggs under that apron, packed together in a bright orange mass. That means one crab can be walking around with over half a million babies tucked under her body. So next time you flip one over, don’t just check the claws. Check the apron. That little flap tells you way more than you think. #nature #shorts #Education
