Hi Arun,

As awesome as this spotting is, would you mind removing this spotting from the Identifying Animals Through Osteology Mission? Osteology is actually the study of vertebrate bones. It's a detailed study of the structure of bones, the skeletal elements, teeth, morphology, function and disease. Osteology aids in identifying vertebrate remains with regard to age, death, sex, growth, and development. Crabs are invertebrates and have an exoskeleton but not an actual skeleton.. Thank you for your understanding! :)
