The praying cock is found all over the world and lives mainly on rocky soils in the warmer waters to a depth of 1500m. This prayeris lobster is found in the Mediterranean, but is most caught in the Adriatic where it is called cigale. The prayeris can reach a length of 25cm, is brown/gray in color (there are also colorful specimens), has the appearance of a prawn, but is not a family. The praying cock belongs to the family of the creeftakers. The praying crayfish is a very aggressive animal that can hit a prey with its powerful forelegs at once ‘knock out’. The praying cock has two large dark spots on the tail, suggesting that the eyes are there. The slander thinks this is his head, but if he wants to strike, he usually comes out cheated. The tail is full of sharp spikes, the slander can injure itself. The praying cock also has a sturdy armor with sharp points on the belly side. The Japanese call the praying cock 'Shako'.
