Do bears eat crayfish?

Asked by Wiki User

It would be very difficult for a grizzly bear to eat a lobster. Most grizzly bears fish in rivers and creeks. I suppose a grizzly could wander near an ocean, but it would be very difficult for them to find a lobster that is a bottom-dweller. They also would be unsure how to open the lobster to get to the meat.

What brown bug has eight legs and pinchers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If it has eight legs, that makes your creature a spider not an insect. (Or a lobster or crab, but I am assuming you are not speaking of shellfish.)

Beyond that, more detail is needed regarding:

* size of spider (measurement and proportion of body, legs) * location (country/state, and specify basement, flower garden, etc) * behavior (movement, feeding, speed) * web (if any) * markings
