Takaashigani

Sat, Jul 5, 2008

Fun, General

Me and Silv was looking at crabs at the world wide web(don’t ask me why).
And I showed him some pics at Takaashigani aka Japanese Spider Crab.

The Japanese spider crab, Macrocheira kaempferi, is the largest living arthropod; fully grown it can reach a leg span of almost 4 m (13 ft), a body size of up to 37 cm (15 inches) and a weight of up to 20 kg (44 lb). The crab’s natural habitat is on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean (some 300 to 400 m deep) around Japan, where it feeds on dead animals and shellfish. It is believed to have a life expectancy of up to 100 years. //Wikipedia

    Odd question. Is it edible?

    Not that I’d eat it anaways.
