Crayfish

Crayfish are fascinating freshwater crustaceans that resemble tiny lobsters. They're often found in rivers, streams, and ponds, hiding under rocks or burrowing into mud. With their strong pincers, they hunt for small fish, insects, and plant matter, though some species are omnivorous scavengers.

Interestingly, crayfish play an important role in aquatic ecosystems, acting as both predators and prey. They're a food source for larger fish, birds, and even humans! They're a popular dish in certain cuisines, especially in Louisiana-style cooking.
