Crab is a precious food given to us by nature, and people love its sweet taste. When the thick crab paste collides in the mouth, the pleasure and happiness brought by food begin.
As far as crabs are concerned, there are many kinds of crabs. At present, there are 4,700 known species of crabs in the world, and there are more than 800 species in our country alone, and the most rare thing is that most crabs can be eaten by people.
Although we don't know who was the first person to eat crabs, we are grateful to the person who had the courage to try crabs, because of his practice, we have more delicious ingredients in this world.
In the Japanese waters, there is a very special kind of crab, which is the "king of crabs".
The "King of Crabs" invaded Japan and was over 4 meters in size.
This is a kind of crab nicknamed "killer crab", which lives in the waters off the southeast coast of Japan and was accidentally discovered by local fishermen when they went out to sea.
Killer crab is a very dangerous giant crab. Its original name is Giant Crab Ganzi, and its prototype is Spider Crab. Therefore, some people call it Japanese Spider Crab or Tall Crab, because its feet are really similar to spiders.
Killer crab is the largest known crustacean in the world. The average extension length of adult killer crab's claw feet is 2.5~3 meters, the last four pairs of feet are 2. 1~2.4 meters, and the shell width is 25~33 cm.
It is understood that in the past, someone caught a very big spider crab in Japanese waters. The total length of the body and legs was 4.2 meters, of which the body part was only 38 centimeters, and the rest were all feet. This whole crab weighs more than 40 kilograms. As a crab, its weight is indeed a little too fat. It is precisely because of this that people call the killer crab "the king of crabs".
However, they usually like to live in the deep sea of 50-600 meters, so it is not easy to see the killer crab even if it is edible or not. Perhaps it is because of living in the deep sea that I have the opportunity to grow up.
Interestingly, killer crabs are not native to Japan, and there were no killer crabs in Japan earlier. Scientists speculate that these killer crabs may have come from the United States. With the development of maritime trade, they secretly hid in the boat and crossed the ocean to come here.
People's biggest misunderstanding of "killing crabs" is that killing crabs does not actually harm human beings.
In fact, there are many legends about the killer crab, just like its nickname "killer crab" is actually the biggest misunderstanding of it.
There are rumors in Japan that from 1990 to 20 14, 34 fishermen and 26 tourists died in the belly of killer crabs along the coast of Yokohama, Japan alone.
However, in fact, the killer crab does not actually have the ability to kill people. Killing crab, in fact, should be called corpse-eating crab, which likes to feed on rotting animal carcasses. Being called "killing crab" by people is actually a misinformation.
Their personalities are relatively mild, and the researchers also said that "killer crabs" are actually easy to get along with, and they perform quite well in captivity, and will not harass or hurt their companions, so they are very popular in aquariums.
