Giant land crab claims twenty two foot span from shell to claw
A New York museum naturalist describes a colossal rock crab from Japan, noting a shell two feet across and legs stretching twenty two feet when alive. He recounts chasing giant crabs ashore in Japan, lifting one with a native, losing a claw, and shipping specimens to New York. The crabs, eaten in Japan, yield meat from the claws and shells used for curios and medicine.
