So sorry that I have not been on here for like, months. XD BUT IM BACK NOW!!! I will try to remember to be on here more. Now that I have remembered. Might not as much once winter break is over. But now that its started get ready for some posts! YAY!!

Now, if you think those arnt just a LITTLE scary, then congrats. If you think they look cool, what is wrong with you? Just kidding. The one that freaks me out the most is that first one... 
though not all deep sea animals are scary. Most are, but some not really. Like these: 

Now the first one actually kind of looks cute to me. XD But today im going to tell you about one of these deep sea creatures. 
and the animal for today is.. (drum roll please..)
THE JAPANESE SPIDER CRAB!!!! 
Yup, this thing: 
The Japanese Spider Crab is the largest known crab species, with a body of 15 inches, the legs can be up to 12 feet, and the whole crab can weigh 41 pounds!  Hence the name, the crab only lives in the water around Japan.
 They have eight legs, and two arms for feeding. Each of the arms are 5 feet long. The Japanese Spider Crab is orange in color with white spots on its legs. It is found in depths of about 2,500 feet underwater. 
The crab usually only eats the bodies of dead animals, but it can also eat on shellfish. After they molt, they will eat their own shells for special nutrients! They are also very gentle animals. Even though they may look ferocious.
Here is the size of a Japanese spider crab next to a person:

Well thats it for today! Hopefully I will think of another animal to do soon...
plus, this post was meant to be for yesterday. But oh well! I had to go somewhere and didnt have time to finish this. :P
