What is the claw of a crab?

On the ends of its two front legs, crabs have claws. These resemble pincers, a two-part instrument used to grasp objects. Crabs utilize their pincers for both combat and for grabbing and tearing apart prey, so they can consume it.

Fiddler crabs employ a series of waves and gestures to communicate; males have an enlarged claw called a chela that is used in battles of ritualized fighting to court females and express the intentions of conspecifics. Because they can be shed and renewed, a crab's claw and other limbs let it escape.

Although it has long been believed by scientists that crabs lack the biological capacity to experience pain, behavioural data has lately demonstrated that this is not the case.
