It's from Australia, so it's probably poisonous.

[–]Ikinhaszkarmakplx2 5 points6 points ago

A+++ would eat again.

You don't want to do that on a live one, trust me.

[–]IkeyJesus 2 points3 points ago

How is it possible I've just learned of these? That thing is a monster! If I were scuba diving and came upon one of these, I would lose my sh!t.

[–]AlfonzDerikez 2 points3 points ago

Little fella was caught at 800m so you're pretty safe

[–]keith_weaver 0 points1 point ago

It still blows my mind at what the sea's contain. Even if I were in a little submarine and saw that, I woulda lost my sh!t.

[–]AlfonzDerikez 1 point2 points ago

I remember as a kid seeing fishing boats full with hundreds of them. Wouldn't want to fall in to the hold

[–]Gliese2 1 point2 points ago

[–]BuzzsGirlfriendWoof 1 point2 points ago

I'm interested in how a 15 lbs crab can produce 20 lbs of meat.....

[–]RageMorePlz 1 point2 points ago

I was surprised until I found out this was found in Tasmania. For any non-australians, that's where all the inbreeding occurs.

[–]yoshiotsu 1 point2 points ago

MUDCRABS ARE REAL!!!!

[–]Danglingcoconuts 1 point2 points ago

Crab's mouth looks like a vagina... Just noticed and I will never be able to look at crabs the same way

Looks to be a Giant Enemy Crab from ancient Japan, you need to flip it over for massive damage

[–]sehrah 0 points1 point ago

I have a friend who has a legitimate phobia of Crabs, and every time I see stuff like this, the dickhead in me instantly wants to show her.

Why are you butt hurt against Australia?

[–]Hawkeye1226 1 point2 points ago

EVERYTHING WANTS TO KILL YOU!!! but seriously i dont have a problem with it

[–]typicalaussiemale -1 points0 points ago

That's the kind of thinking that hurts our tourism sector :(

[–]SolidEjaculate 1 point2 points ago

You're a country founded by criminals, left to their own devices for centuries. Then fate added a heapin' helpin' of poisonous and deadly animals, insects, fish, birds, and trees just to really mix it up. It's honestly a testament to how insanely hot Australian chicks are that you even have a tourism sector at all.

[–]SolidEjaculate -1 points0 points ago

Hypothetically, if it were dead, would it be safe to fuck it? Or is there some safety mechanism inside where it'll fuck you up, dead or alive?
