Description
Degenrabben own five pairs of book lungs with which they can breathe underwater, but also on land for a short time. Although most arthropods have mandibulas, the horseshoe crab does not have a jaw. The head is in the center of the head brisket and they have ten legs. Just like crabs, reptiles and certain amphibians, crabs can regrow their limbs if they are lost.
