Crab is a kind of seafood that we often eat, some of which are relatively small and need to be very "delicate" to eat. The larger crabs are very enjoyable to eat.
Many people will think: If it is the world's largest crab, it must be very cool to eat, right?
However, after hearing the name of the biggest crab, I am afraid you don't want to eat it, because it has a nickname called "Killer Crab".
The "killer crab", scientifically known as the Gan's giant crab, is a creature that lives in the northwest Pacific Ocean (that is, in the waters near Japan and near Taiwan Province). In general, the Gan's giant cray crab lives in the sea 500-1000 meters below the surface of the sea and belongs to a deep-sea creature.
The biggest feature of gan's giant crab is their "big long legs". To use an Internet buzzword to exaggerate, it is dead "all legs below the neck". In general, the legs of adult Gan's giant crab can grow to more than 1 meter. At present, the largest sample of Gan's giant crab found by humans has spread its legs to a total length of 4.2 meters, which is about the length of a car and higher than a floor! In terms of length alone, the Gan's giant crab is undoubtedly the longest crustacean known to man.
However, as we said, its biggest feature is "big long legs", so in addition to "legs", in fact, they have nothing.
For example, the sample with a length of 4.2 meters just now, in fact, the main body length is less than 40 centimeters, and the overall weight is only 20 kilograms. Thus, when it comes to absolute size, they have no advantages.
Even so, they have something to say. The Gan's giant crab, which looks "fierce" on the outside, is also not dusty when hunting. They not only eat small fish and shrimp, other small crabs, but sometimes even attack small sharks.
Of course, the most talked about, or the most curious, is that the Gan's giant crab, which has the nickname of the killer crab, does not kill people.
In this regard, biologists said: The name of the killer crab belongs to the result of false rumors. In fact, they are a scavenger, hence the nickname dead man crab. The most basic translation method is the dead man crab, and as a result, when translated to China, due to the error of translation (it may also be deliberately intended to attract attention), it is translated as a killer crab.
Like we said above, they generally live in the sea area of about 500 meters, and there is no one there, how do they kill people? Even if there are occasional people who come to the coastal areas, they are all small "old and weak soldiers", and they are not a threat to human beings.
Therefore, the so-called killer crab does not eat people at all. Fortunately, they only have legs and not much meat, otherwise they will be eaten...
