Best Answer

Crabs have gills. The underwater ones have larger gills than the terrestrial ones. Terrestrial crabs use the humidity in the air to breathe. this is why crabs live near water even if they are land dwellers. some crabs have very small and basic lungs but these cannot function without water and are usually attached to some sort of gill.

Does toad and frog breathe through lungs and moist skin?

I'm not too sure if they breathe through their lungs but I'm very sure they do breathe through their skin. Frogs and toads' skins are rather thin for oxygen in the air to pass through and also to get rid of carbon dioxide unlike other mammals or fishes.
