Fish tale

The Japanese spider crab has the longest legs of any crab, so long it could reach both goalposts at once. It lives in Suruga Bay, near the home of Shimizu S-Pulse. This one walks so slowly that it never gets caught offside.

  • Channel Bend: The causeway's big bend over the deepest water between the two islands. Shoals swim through the open channel, and now and then a tuna or a little shark follows them.
