Crabs in mangroves adapt by having specialized gills that allow them to breathe in both air and water, enabling them to survive in oxygen-deprived mud during low tide. They also have strong claws to navigate through the dense mangrove roots and defend against predators. Some species have evolved camouflage patterns to blend in with their surroundings, providing protection from predators.
