Time-lapse video: Giant spider crab sheds its shell

22 Jun 2010

Enoshima Aquarium (Fujisawa, Japan) has released some time-lapse footage of a molting Japanese spider crab (Macrocheira kaempferi), whose 3.8 meter (12 ft 6 in) leg span makes it the world's largest arthropod species. The video was shot over a 6-hour period.

    Interesting. Now it has what appears to be a companion with it. Maybe that's what it wanted...

    Don't you people see? This is the moment when they're vulnerable! This is when to strike! To kill them all! We could turn this thing around yet!
