Attack of Stalin's monster crabs

An explosion in numbers of a species of giant crab is causing concern amongst environmentalists.

Millions of Kamchatka or Red King Crabs have already spread around 400 miles south from northern Norway.

The monster crustaceans, which were introduced to Europe by Stalin in the 1930s, have a claw span of more than three feet and can weigh in at 25 lb.
