Giant Crabs May Invade Britain

According to this news and discovery item of Ananova , Environmentalists warn that Britain's waterways are set to be invaded by giant exotic Chinese crabs.

They say the mitten crabs, which can grow to the size of a dinner plate, could overrun canals and rivers. They also say that there could be a population explosion at any time.

This type of crabs are considered a delicacy in China and Japan when eaten raw and are already present in some British rivers including the Thames, Humber and Tyne.

One solution for the expected population explosion could be, export the crabs en masse to the countries of Far East, where the raving exotic food lovers could feast all year round. It certainly would be good business.
