The Daddy Long Legs of Crabs

This giant of a crab was taken from the depths of the Pacific Ocean, and it measures an amazing ten feet from claw to claw.
We know what your thinking, it would go great with drawn butter, but sorry, it currently resides in Britain at the National Sea Life Centre in Birmingham, and many are saying, it's the biggest crab ever seen.
Believe it or not, this crab is still growing and could live up to 100 years, its legs will eventually reach fifteen feet.
Know one is certain how old the crab is, but its body is the size of a basketball.
“Our open-topped ray tank has the icy cold waters Crabzilla needs, and will be his home until the end of March. He absolutely dwarfs the other crabs in there, but he’s not aggressive and they should have nothing to worry about,” says Graham Burrows, curator of the National Sea Life Centre.”
