Species: Uca lactea Fiddlers prefer to live out of water on damp ground; even when they are sealed in their burrows during high tide, they maintain a bubble of air underground. All crabs have gills, which they must keep moist in order to breathe. They have tufts of hair at the base of their legs which they use to absorb water into their gill chamber through capillary action. |
