Habitat Cherax Dispar : Queensland - South eastern coastal, Australia
Cherax Dispar is found from Brisbane to Maryborough in Queensland, Australia. It is also found on the sand islands off the coast of southeast Queensland, including North Stradbroke Island (Bywater et al. 2008) and Fraser Island. This species is reported to be widespread in the permanent small streams of southeastern Queensland (Reik 1969).
Wilson and an international team of researchers investigated the Australian slender crayfish (Cherax dispar). The small, lobster-like crustaceans are extraordinarily aggressive beasts, with combat often resulting in death or the loss of a limb. "When you pick them up, they'll want to take your finger off right away," Wilson said.
