沖縄県にある沖縄美ら海水族館には、深い海に住んでいる「ミナミオーストンガニ」という珍しいカニがいます
At the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa Prefecture, there is a rare crab called ”Minami Oston Crab” that lives in the deep sea.
The aquarium says it’s the first time in the world to see this crab alive.
今までに日本で見つかったミナミオーストンガニは４匹だけです
Until now, only four Minami Oston crabs have been found in Japan.
Last December, the aquarium, together with fishermen, caught this crab in the sea at a depth of 600m off of Kumejima, Okinawa Prefecture.
The size of the shell is about 4 cm, but when the legs are extended, the crab becomes 25 cm.
There are many thorns on the legs.
According to the aquarium, the crab has eggs in its tummy and has given birth to more than 3,000 children in 10 days.
We also want you to see the place where you raise children from eggs. ”
