the biggest crab is this thing called the japanese spider crab. it is a fucking monstrosity and i dont know why evolution let it happen.
i really cant accentuate how big this fucker is so heres a picture
horse shoe crabs arent even crabs!!! not even fucking crustacions. theyre from a class called Merostomata and, this aint a merostomata post is it. fuck those guys, they’re why i fear touching the ocean bottom
theres a crab called the sally lightfoot and shes so beautiful. gorgeous. all angles of her are gourgeous
there are true crabs and there are false crabs. yes, you heard that right. even in the crustacion world, there are fakers out there.
true crabs have short abdomebs and have 4 legs for walkin’
pictured here is a blue Chesapeake crab or whatever
false crabs have longer abdomens and less legs for walkin’
hermit crabs are a lie and im sorry to all the ones i killed as a child
this is a brown crab (cancer pagurus) and while he seems innocent enough, he has teeth in this stomach. love him anyways.
bullshit central
