This paper reviews the outstanding characteristics of the pulsars and, in particular, compares the properties of the Crab Nebula pulsar with those of the other pulsars. The Crab pulsar is unique in that it has a remarkably short period, emission outside the radio band, some strange amplitude variations and an abnormally large interpulse.
