I went to the library and read a book about shells. I learned that the giant Japanese spider crab is the biggest crustacean in the world. It can get up to about 12 feet across when stretched out. The shell can reach up to 18 inches. When we got home, we measured 12 feet and 18 inches. We marked it with rocks. Then we did more research online. We learned they can live to 100 years old!!!!! We also learned that they are omnivores. An omnivore is an animal that eats plants and animals. They eat dead animals and pry open mollusk shells. They are super duper cool.
This is an interesting video about Japanese spider crabs.
