Sample Answer from Plato.

Robber crabs have strong pincers for protection. They also use their pincers for climbing and feeding. Their large size and their exoskeleton also protect their bodies. The young crabs grab shells to protect themselves until they grow large enough. When they are big enough, the crabs move at a slower pace, decreasing their energy needs, which allows them to live long lives.

Robber Crabs have big claws to grab stuff and defend themselves. They also have long legs for crawling across the sand quietly and quickly.
