About this book

Language: Japanese

Despite the popularity of shrimp and crab, surprisingly little is known about the mechanisms and actions of the body. This book explains why shrimp and crabs turn red when boiled, why shrimp are curvy, why crabs walk sideways, and how shrimp and crabs differ from mantis shrimp and hermit crabs. In addition, the author introduces the amazing ways of life of various shrimp and crabs, such as shrimp that migrate hundreds of kilometres, shrimp that snap their scissors closed to generate flashes of light and kill their prey, and crabs that protect themselves using sea anemones with poisonous stingers.

Summary in Japanese:
みんなが大好きなエビとカニ。しかし、体のしくみや行動は意外に知られていない。なぜエビ・カニはゆでると赤くなるのか、なぜエビはプリプリなのか、なぜカニは横歩きするのか、エビ・カニはシャコやヤドカリとどう違うのかを説明。さらに何百kmも渡りをするエビ、ハサミをパチンと閉じてプラズマを発生させ獲物を倒すエビ、毒針を持つイソギンチャクを使って身を守るカニ、さまざまなエビ・カニのすごい生き方を紹介。
