**What is a Crayfish?**
Crayfish, crawfish, or crawdads – members of the superfamilies Astacoidea and Parastacoidea – are freshwater crustaceans resembling small lobsters, to which they are related. They breathe through feather-like gills and are found in bodies of water that do not freeze to the bottom; they are also mostly found in brooks and streams where there is fresh water running, and which have shelter against predators. Most crayfish cannot tolerate polluted water, although some species such as the invasive Procambarus clarkii are more hardy. Crayfish feed on living and dead animals and plants.

=**Definition of "Habitat"**= A habitat is a special place where a plant or animal lives. Just like you have a home or place to live, so do animals and plants. When we talk about an animal’s or a plant's home it is more like a neighborhood than a "house." An animal needs five things to survive in its habitat:
 * food
 * water
 * shelter
 * air
 * a place to raise its young.

There are many plants and animals that will share the same habitat. The animals and plants that live together in a habitat form a "community." The community of living things interacts with the non-living world around it to form the ecosystem. There are lots of different habitat types on Earth. Habitat examples could include lakes, streams, forests, or even a drop of water. All habitats on the Earth are part of the biosphere. Because the Earth is always changing, habitats are constantly changing. Habitats that have similar climate and plants are called biomes.

=**Famous Thieves In History.**=

Dick Turpin

 * The famous highwayman and robber, Dick Turpin, was born in 1705 in Essex, England. After beginning in business as a butcher, he was caught stealing cattle as a means of supplementing his income and fled to the forests of Essex. On his return, Turpin joined a gang of poachers and burglars, known as Gregory's Gang. After the capture and hanging of three of the gang, however, Turpin became a lone criminal, specializing in highway robbery. In 1739, after a three-year rampage across the country, Turpin was finally captured by the authorities and executed. He is often remembered for the famous demand made to his victims: "your money or your life."

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

 * Born Robert LeRoy Parker in 1866, Butch Cassidy is one of the country's most notorious robbers. After leaving home at a young age, Cassidy worked on numerous ranches and also in a butcher's shop, hence the nickname "Butch." After serving two years in a Wyoming jail for rustling, Cassidy became a master planner in bank, train and payroll robberies. Cassidy was the leader of the infamous Wild Gang, including fellow outlaw, the Sundance Kid. After the Pinkerton Agency was hired to chase down Cassidy, the pair fled to South America to work as ranchers. Within a few years, however, they returned to their criminal ways and began robbing banks. Despite being captured by Bolivian troops in 1908, the exact details of their demise remains a mystery.

Ned Kelly

 * Edward "Ned" Kelly was born to a family of Irish immigrants in Beveridge, Australia in 1854. Kelly's first criminal act was at the tender age of 15 when he was sentenced to six months' hard labor for assault and indecent behavior and, within three weeks of his release, was sentenced to a further three years for receiving a stolen horse. Despite serving a total of three and a half years in prison and swearing to never return there, Kelly formed a partnership with his stepfather and other relatives in a large-scale rustling operation and numerous bank robberies. Kellly was badly wounded in a fracas with the police at Glenrowan in 1880, where he was also arrested and taken into custody. After being transported to the Old Melbourne Goal, Kelly was executed by hanging on Nov. 11, 1880.

Bonnie and Clyde

 * The most famous criminal couple in American history, Bonnie and Clyde, were shot to death in 1934. Bonnie and Clyde first met in Texas in 1930. Shortly after this initial meeting, Clyde was sent to prison for burglary and, despite breaking out with Bonnie's help, was not released until 1932. Aside from 13 murders and several abductions, Bonnie and Clyde committed numerous bank robberies and vehicle thefts. In a collaboration of local law enforcement officers and FBI agents, the pair were finally tracked down driving a stolen car in Louisiana and killed on May 23, 1934.

Jesse James

 * Jesse James was born in Missouri in 1847. His family owned slaves and supported the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Consequently, when William Quantrill established the Quantrill Gang, a band of guerrilla fighters to attack the Union Army, James immediately joined up. It was as a member of the Quantrill Gang that James first began a life of crime, from robbing mail coaches to murdering supporters of Abraham Lincoln. When the war ended, James continued his criminal behavior and was involved in at least 12 bank robberies and seven train robberies. In 1882, James was murdered by Robert Ford, a member of his own gang. Ford had been tempted by the promise of a $10,000 reward offered by the governor of Missouri for James' capture.
