Japanese Spider Crab

Who is excited that they are bringing a Japanese Spider Crab to the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo?

I am, of course! Along with Megan and Courtney.

Have you ever googled the Japanese Spider Crab? It's the biggest crab in the world and can grow legs up to 12 feet long. EWWWWWWWWWW!

I'm sure the one they bring to Omaha will not be that big, but still!

Did you happen to see on the news that someone caught a 26 pound lobster? What a huge animal!

Anyway, this is the stuff we learn for the science class that Megan is taking at the Homeschool Learning Center. It's from a science textbook called "Apologia: Exploring Creation with Zoology: Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day." It's a very interesting book and we are learning a lot! And when we see things in the news, we know what they are talking about!
