These giant 200kg monsters are interfering with the fishermen's catches. Pollution from China and global warming are increasing the numbers of these things like never before.

I'm just glad these things don't appear to be too palatable...otherwise I'm sure I know what I'd be eating all winter. ;)

eek!

do they sting?

[bill]

Yes, they're quite poisonous. They're out pretty deep so you won't find these guys near the shore that often...at least not where I go to the beach.
