When crayfish dig, we<br />

pile the extra mud at the<br />

entrance of our burrows.<br />

<strong>All</strong> that mud dries out. This<br />

makes a chimney over the<br />

hole.<br />

Most chimneys are only a<br />

few inches tall, but some<br />

can be as tall as 12 inches.<br />

some clay <strong>and</strong> roll it into marble-sized pieces. See how high<br />

you can stack your chimney without tipping it over.<br />
