Crabzillas capture the world's attention

This satellite image of the colossal crustacean – thought to be 50ft across - surfaced on the website Weird Whitstable.
Since then, it has spawned believers, hoax-busters and just a crazy, curious following.

Blog curator Quinton Winter was quoted by 'The Express' as saying he had encountered the decapod himself: “At first all I could see was some faint movement, then as it rose from the water I thought ‘that’s a funny looking bit of driftwood’.

“It had glazed blank eyes on stalks, swivelling wildly and it clearly was a massive crab with crushing claws.

“Before this incident I thought the aerial photo showed an odd-shaped sandbank. Now I know better.”
