Out of hundreds of species, the Red Swamp species is most commonly farmed in Louisiana.

They are found on every single continent except for Africa and Antarctica (of course).

They became popular in COMMUNIST China in the 1990's.

About 60% of all production come from rice fields.

We export more to Sweden than any other country! Weird huh?

A man by the name of Chris Hendrix ate 331 of them in 12 minutes for the world record! He must have Cajun in him.

There are 330 species in North America alone.

Madagascar has one species.

They make sudden, wild movements to get out of their hard shell when moulting.

Yankees don't know what to call them, so they call them crayfish.

If you keep one as a crawfish pet, you better plug any holes in the lid. They love to escape!

They can suffer from plaque, just like us, but their plaque comes from a water mold.
