    World Biggest Crabs Ever Article0083d8146000005d

    Wow look at these crabs!! it was really huge. this crabs also known as the world biggest crabs ever.

    largest crab in the world
    With its enormous legs and lethal claws, this monster of the deep is
    already the biggest crab ever seen in Britain largest crab species.

    largest
    crab on earth But astonishingly, the arthropod - which measures a
    staggering 10ft from claw to claw - is still growing, and could live
    until it is 100.

    Nicknamed 'Crabzilla' after the fictional giant monster, the Japanese Spider Crab has a body the size of a basketball and its legs can straddle a car. They will eventually measure a massive 15ft.

    The
    crab, called Macrocheira kaempferi in Latin, was caught by fishermen in
    the Pacific Ocean and has now been imported to Britain where it has
    gone on display at the National Sea Life Centre in Birmingham.

    Out
    of the water, the crab looks limp and languid because it cannot support
    its heavy limbs. But in its own habitat - up to 2,500ft down in the
    cold seas of the ocean - it is a lethal predator.

    However, it
    also has predators of its own - humans - as it is considered a delicacy
    in Japan. Graham Burrows, curator of the National Sea Life Centre in
    Birmingham, said: 'It is rumoured these crabs can grow to four metres
    across.

    'Our open-topped ray tank has the icy cold waters
    Crabzilla needs, and will be his home until the end of March. 'He
    absolutely dwarfs the other crabs in there, but he's not aggressive and
    they should have nothing to worry about.'

    'He has already spent
    time in quarantine and ultimately will be moved to the Sea Life centre
    in Blankenberge in Belgium.' He added: 'The Japanese Spider Crab is the
    largest known member of the arthropod family, which includes all
    invertebrates with jointed limbs. 'Crabzilla's front limbs are his
    feeding arms, each over five feet long and ending in sizeable claws.

    'They
    are a Japanese delicacy and are usually salted and steamed, but eating
    them in the spring is banned because that is when they lay their eggs.'
