The Life of a Gilly Suit
Japanese spider crabs are 12 feet long, leg tip to leg tip. One of the ways they protect themselves against danger is by crafting a gilly suit. Humans eat this animal more than any other preditor, killing them using enormous trawling nets. They might opportunistically hunt on rare occasions, their preference is to eat what's already dead. Some sources say that this animal may live to be a hundred years old.
