Crayfish Cropping Up as Falls Creek Wildlife Fuel
Ohio streams and lakes host crayfish or crawdads in abundance. They feed many animals and provide food for humans when fried. Crayfish shed shells quickly, changing color with shells hardening. They live in water or burrow hillsides, and land crabs occupy wet fields with mud chimneys. Crayfish act as scavengers in streams and lakes.
