No. Crabs, lobsters, barnacles, and shrimp are all crustaceans. This means that they have no skeleton, but instead have a hard shell on the outside of their body for protection. An example of some amphibians are frogs, salamanders, toads and newts. Amphibians have soft or slimy skin and an internal skeleton. They also spend much of their time out of water, unlike crustaceans which need water to live. A crab is in the Animal Kingdom.
