In Baiga culture, the crab may symbolize resilience and adaptability, but there is limited direct reference to how the Baiga people specifically interact with crabs in their daily lives. However, like many tribal communities closely connected to nature, they likely use local wildlife, including crabs, in subsistence practices such as fishing or hunting in rivers and forests. The crab’s depiction in art may also represent the tribe's understanding of local fauna and their respect for the ecosystem.
