I think maybe the similarity is in the nose.

When I was a LITTLE kid (about 5 years old) Dad had Francis Asbury in Virginia Beach. Granny lived with us then. The Chesapeake Bay came right up into the backyard of our parsonage, so Granny and I would go out into the back yard to the water's edge, and Granny would throw out a chicken neck tied to a cord, and these stupid crabs would grab on the chicken necks with their claws, and Granny would pull the chicken neck and trap the crab in a net and throw it in a bucket, and we ate crabs all the time. Thing is, though. when you are 5 and crabs have always been abundant, you don't have any idea how lucky you are to have an ocean full of free crabs out the back door.
