+ouija ouija Posted October 16, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 16, 2012 He's lovely! I remember seeing one(dead), in the museum in Liverpool when I was a very small child. It was stretched out and attached to the wall. I remember staring at it in fascination and I kept asking my Gran, "Is it real? Is it a real one?". The biggest crabs I'd seen before that were about 4" long ...... on the beaches of N.Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simbi Laveau Posted October 17, 2012 #6 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I've seen them at the aquarium in Osaka Japan . The tank its in is the height of the building ,and you work your way downward in a spiral ,around the tank ,which is round . You see the sealife that likes each depth ,as you go down . There are other tanks on the opposite walls from the main tank too . They used to have a giant sunfish ,in a tank of his own .He was huge . When you get to the bottom level ,the life on the floor is quite different from levels above . Very few fish ,and just numerous giant crabs . The bigger ones are as tall as I am . They sort of hang out in clusters too. Two in one corner ,four of them congregating in the middle . They look very much like giant Alaskan king crabs to me ,so I would assume you can eat them . I don't think anyone does though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
