Male and female crabs can be distinguished by looking at their abdominal flap (apron) shape, with males having a narrow, triangular (or T-shaped) apron and females possessing a broad, rounded, or U-shaped apron. Females, often called "sooks," use this wide abdomen to carry eggs, while males ("jimmies") generally have larger claws. @googlefactss#crustaceans
