Why does a crab walk sideways?
-
"Crabs walk sideways due to their unique anatomy, which features a flattened body and legs positioned on the sides, making lateral movement more efficient. This sideways gait also helps them navigate through their natural habitats, like crevices and rocky terrain.

"Never thought about walking next to a crab in that way but you have really presented a wonderful scene or event! In fact, crabs have been created this way since the beginning of time.
Nature has designed crabs in such a way that it is easiest and safest for them to walk like this with their flat bodies and legs on their sides. They can use the legs they have to walk on to protect themselves from danger.
it's surprising to think how effective this unique walking posture of crabs is in surviving in harmony with the cracks and waves of the rocky seashore.
Truly, every detail created by nature is perfectly crafted, which is simply fascinating to see.""
