- Description: Crayfish, aka Crawdads, Mudbugs, Crawfish live in wetlands in southern part of the United States. Crawfish build mounds made of the mud in which they make burrows. As they dig their burrows, they pile up the mud surrounding the area they began digging so they can have a good flow of oxygen in their burrow. The burrow usually exists for only one crawfish as a resting place, or an area to find water. It is also used for mating. The burrow can be as long as 2-3 feet or longer traveling in different directions. When their's a drought, the crawfish will plug up the opening at the top of the mound to keep the burrow moist. The mud holes have been called crayfish chimneys, mud mounds and mud holes.
