Crawfish can move forward slowly but are known for their quick backward swim. They use their strong tail muscles to dart away from predators. While they are primarily aquatic, crawfish can also survive out of water for short periods as long as their gills remain moist. This allows them to migrate across land to find new habitats.

Crawfish communicate with each other through a variety of methods including chemical signals released in the water, body language, and even by waving their antennae.
Crawfish are known for their burrowing behavior. They can dig elaborate tunnel systems in the mud, sometimes up to 3 feet deep, which they use for shelter and protection.
