Info

Crayfish are great parents. Female crayfish carry their eggs under their tails to protect them from danger. These eggs look like clusters of tiny blueberries. One crayfish may carry as many as 300 eggs at a time. PHOTO COURTESY OF CHRIS LUKHAUP ~ 16 ~
Some types of crayfish are endangered. That means there are so few of them left that people are trying to look out for them and protect them. People hurt crayfish by destroying our habitat. Habitat is where creatures live. Just because you can’t see our homes, doesn’t mean they’re not there. Water pollution is a serious threat to crayfish. We may be tough, but chemicals and foul water can poison us. Dams on streams, building and mining near water, and irresponsible farming and logging can wash dirt and mud into our water. This destroys crayfish habitat and leaves us homeless. ~ 17 ~
