Now you wouldn't want to meet this guy in a rock pool...

Scientists think that the giant crabs have been able to spread further south to the Antarctic for the first time because of global warming.

King crabs are known as one of the top predators of the sea floor and can have legs that are up to a metre long.

But some experts are worried they might have a damaging affect on the area as they are known for being very destructive.
