Now we've done it - Pissed off Canadian crabs invading U.S. waters

[packman]

An army of raging Canadian crabs has stormed the shores of Maine and laid siege to local marine life

"What we're seeing is this insane level of aggressiveness," Markus Frederich, a professor at the University of New England, told the the Associated Press.

While green crabs, an invasive species, have long established a beachhead in the United States, these Canadian counterparts seem to have serious anger issues.

Indeed, even scientists are rattled by the rage.

In an email sent to the Associated Press, University of New England researcher Louis Logan recalls the difficulties of trying to label the Canadian green crabs for the study. From five feet away, the animals were already waving their pincers at him.

"Any time I went down to grab one they went to grab me instead," he wrote, adding that one of the crabs even hurled itself from the water to get a hold of him.

They are threatening the Dungeness crab stocks where I live in Dungeness, WA. They may destroy this resource as all they can do is pick them up one by one.
