🦀Japanese spider crab
Velekrab japonský (Macrocheira kaempferi podle Engelberta Kämpfera) je největší žijící členovec. Je to mořský tvor, který původně žil v okolí Japonska. Předpokládá se, že se může dožít více než 100 let. Velekrab japonský žije v Tichém oceánu v okolí Japonských ostrovů obvykle v hloubce od 50 do 300 metrů. Byl však nalezen i 600 metrů pod hladinou. Rád využívá přirozené úkryty jako průduchy, průrvy a díry ve skalách na mořském dně.
