Default Crab legs anyone??

This crab could feed a family easily....lol

Here is the specs on this bad boy:

Birgus latro is the largest land-living arthropod in the world;[4][5] reports about the size of Birgus latro vary, but most sources give a body length of up to 40 cm (16 in),[6] a weight of up to 4.1 kg (9.0 lb), and a leg span of more than 0.91 m (3.0 ft),[7] with males generally being larger than females.[8] The carapace may reach a length of 78 mm (3.1 in), and a width of up to 200 mm (7.9 in) (taken from Wiki)
