Crustaceans typically have more than three pairs of legs. Most crustaceans, such as crabs, lobsters, and shrimp, possess five pairs of legs, which include specialized appendages for different functions. However, some smaller crustaceans may have variations in leg count, but the general characteristic is having multiple pairs of legs.
