	Dungeness crab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Dungeness crab is a type of crab that inhabits eelgrass beds and water bottoms from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska to Santa Cruz, California.
		Dungeness crabs have a wide, hard shell which they must split in order to grow; this process is called ecdysis.
		Mating occurs between male and female crabs only after the female has molted, and the female extrudes the eggs from her body several months later; however, they remain attached under her abdomen for three to five months until they hatch.
