      型態:其頭部細長、吻端突出、體型修長具流線型且略為膨大。四肢細短為暗褐色,各具五趾,趾間略有呈現新月型的蹼。全身體毛與尾毛均長,毛質蓬鬆而堅硬,大致呈土灰色且末端燒白。嘴角至臉頰有一道明顯的白色鬃毛。又因外型像披著一件蓑衣,故俗稱棕簑貓。

      生態:食蟹獴以清晨或傍晚為出沒活動的高峰時段,平時棲息於溪流附近之森林中,以岩洞或自掘之洞穴為居所,善於游泳與潛水。覓食時常會移至溪流附近,主要偏肉食之雜食性,除螃蟹外也會捕食魚類、鳥類、鼠類、蛙類等。食蟹獴主要分布在低海拔至中海拔山區森林之溪流附近,於雪霸國家公園、太魯閣國家公園、玉山國家公園及墾丁國家公園皆有分布。

      形質:體長約36-47公分,尾長約16-28公分。
