Best Answer

A yabby possesses legs which it can walk with on the floor of rivers and dams, strong claws also allow it to be quite a good climber and sometimes make it's way through strong currents. Walking and gripping though quite accurate and easy, is not a very fast way for them to move. If threatened, other than attacking with claws, a yabby may flick it's tail hard, causing it to shoot backwards through the water quite fast, an advantage for getting away, but it does make control and sensing threats more difficult, which is why it is not the usual way for it to move, even though it is much faster.
