13. Giant Japanese Spider Crab
The best word used to describe this creature would simply be: terrifying. Just like its name suggests, the Japanese Spider Crab is very, very giant. It has legs that can grow up to three feet, with a leg span usually about 12 feet. These giant crabs can weigh up to 42 pounds, and easily make a scene in the ocean. The deep and dark parts of the ocean floor are usually where these crabs call home. And because of the pressure of the harsh depths, this makes them very strong and adaptable to the deep ocean environment. These scary crabs have a very long and obvious reach, with claws that can cause some massive injuries when they feel like it. They are very smart, but have been known to eat pretty much anything smaller than they are. From algae to the smaller fish that roam the ocean, these crabs will put their pincers on anything.
