| Sea Facts:
The largest known crabs are
Japanese Spider Crabs. They weigh up to 40 pounds and have a
12-foot leg span, the length of a small car! Spider crabs are
scavengers. In May, 2005, over 50,000 spider crabs swarmed
over the sea floor, in Port Phillip Bay, Australia. It is
suspected that this was part of a breeding migration. |
