King crabs, like other crustaceans, breathe using gills that are located in their thorax. When they are out of the water, they can still extract oxygen from moisture trapped in their gills, allowing them to survive for a limited time on land. However, prolonged exposure to air can be harmful, as their gills can dry out, which impairs their ability to breathe effectively. Therefore, king crabs typically need to return to water to maintain their respiratory function.
