Animals with segmented body: crabs

This specimen is a crab. I found this specimen at a Korean market. A crab is related to animals with segmented bodies because their limbs,appendages, and body are all made of segments which are covered with an outer shell like substances called chitin that covers the animal and is its exoskeleton. Animals with segmented body is when the body is divided into several segments.
