What is the classification of the animal shown?
**Image Description for Educational Website**

The image shows a crab on a sandy surface. The crab has a typical segmented body with a hard exoskeleton that provides protection. It displays bilateral symmetry, meaning its left and right sides are symmetrical. The crab's two large claws (chelae) are prominent, used for defense and capturing food. Its stalked eyes are positioned on top of the body, providing a wide field of vision. The legs are adapted for walking sideways.

**Hints:**
- This animal is bilateral.
- It has an exoskeleton.
