The first time I saw an image of that crab was in National Geographic. There was a diver stadning near it, to give you a idea of size. It was mostly leg. When you see one next to a diver - you then realize it aint that scary.

I could totally easily eat 12ft worth of crab, and that's all I thought for the entire clip.
