@dailydosagewildlife: The Titan of the Abyss: Spider Crab Biomechanics The Japanese Spider Crab (Macrocheira kaempferi) has the greatest leg span of any arthropod. This footage captures the specialized engineering of their calcified exoskeleton, which provides a rigid defense against the crushing pressures of the deep. We look at their long, spindly legs—which continue to grow throughout their lives—and their role as a vital scavenger on the ocean floor, utilizing their massive claws to tear apart carcasses that sink into the deep trenches of the Pacific. #nature #naturelover #animals #animallover #xyzbca
