That's a huge motherfucking crab!!!!

[asspirate]

Believe it or not this monster Tasmanian King Crab, named Claude, is only 15-pounds and 15 inches wide, and he has not stopped growing

He was destined for the pot – if they had found one big enough to fit.
But Claude the Tasmanian giant crab was saved from death when the fisherman who caught him sold him to a British aquarium for £3,000.

Now, after a 29-hour plane journey from Australia – where giant crab meat is a delicacy – and two weeks in quarantine, Claude is ready to meet his public.

He is the biggest crab on display in the UK and weighs a mighty 15lb with a 15-inch shell – enough to make 160 crab cakes.

Claude is 100 times bigger than a standard UK shore crab. Yet he is still a juvenile and will grow to double his weight.

Claude was caught off the coast of Tasmania last month, but was sold to the Sea Life group along with two other Tasmanian giant crabs.

lol, ok, first off, the crab on it's back, we have those here at my beach, they live under rocks, and are about 1" wide at the biggest. Second, that photo with the girl is obviously taken in such a way to make that crab look huge compared to her.

True... Just look at how wide her body is compared to her head. It's way off. Photoshopped for sure. Especially since the article says the crab is 15 inches wide..

It did say 15 inches wide. Which is big, but in my opinion not newsworthy big.

I was expecting something like this..

The Japanese spider crab, Macrocheira kaempferi, is a species of marine crab that lives in the waters around Japan. It has the largest leg span of any arthropod, reaching up to 3.8 metres (12 ft) and weighing up to 41 pounds (19 kg).

I reckon double the body size and with those legs and then I'd be impressed.
