Japanese Giant Spider Crab Mech

Mechanical Organisms.

In the distant future, the environment of the earth was harsh.

Highly developed AI created mecha adapted to its natural environment.

The mecha were designed with reference to living organisms.

We can learn a lot from organisms that have survived since ancient times.

The Japanese giant spider crab is a deep-sea crustacean found in the seas around Japan and is one of the largest crabs in the world.

With its legs spread, it is 4.2 metres long and weighs up to 20 kg.

Its shell is about 30 to 40 cm long, but it is characterised by its extremely long legs.

While the lifespan of a typical crab is about 3 years, the Japanese giant spider crab can live for over 100 years.

They usually walk along the seabed in search of food, but can sometimes be seen sitting down to rest.

Although they move slowly, their claws are powerful and can crack shells.

Japanese giant spider crabs also live in groups and compete with their claws and legs for "leg strength", with the boss winning the right to rest on a rock.

If a lower ranking crab stands higher than the boss, the boss will kick it down without mercy.

The Japanese giant spider crab is thought to have appeared in the Tertiary Period, after the extinction of the dinosaurs, and to have continued to the present day.

In Japan they are sometimes called "edible living fossils" because they are also a luxury food.

By making this model, we hope that people will read about the rational way it has survived since prehistoric times and become interested in the creature.
