'''Crayfish''', crawfish, or crawdads, are freshwater crustaceans resembling small [[lobsters]], to which they are closely related. They breathe through feather-like gills and are found in bodies of water that do not freeze to the bottom; they are also mostly found in brooks and streams where there is fresh water running, and which have shelter against predators. Most crayfish cannot tolerate polluted water. | '''Crayfish''', crawfish, or crawdads, are freshwater crustaceans resembling small [[lobsters]], to which they are closely related.
