The person who discovered this "unusual" crab is Mr. Dang Su (residing in Hamlet 8, Tan Loc Commune, Ca Mau Province), an employee of Hoai Thuong crab warehouse at Cau No. 4 Market. Mr. Su said that while sorting crabs purchased from local people, he unexpectedly discovered something unusual under the binding ropes. Specifically, under each large claw, two small, symmetrical pincers had grown.
The crab from Ca Mau has a unique and unusual shape.
Despite its unusual appearance, the crab is very healthy and even aggressive. Both claws and all eight pincers can grip food normally. Having worked in the profession for many years, Mr. Su admits he has never seen a crab with such evenly spaced and symmetrical pincers.
Normally, each crab claw has two pincers, but this crab has four.
Currently, the owner is keeping this crab as a pet instead of selling its meat.
The crab is developing normally and is being kept as a pet.
After images of the crab with eight claws were shared on social media, many curious people came to see it.
