    Imagine watching a giant, armored spider dismembering and eating a bird. That is how the coconut crab do.

    My only (indirect) contact with these guys was in Guam, where I heard a story from my executive officer about his unfortunate attempt to grab one while he was "young, stupid and drunk." He ended up losing two fingers to the irate crab.

    As a kid our parents took us to the south pacific where there were coconut crabs. On that island in 1971 there many things you had to watch out for.

    I remembered here in the Philippines, a distant relative of mine put a lit candle at the back of one of these and let it walk around the area, people thought there was some kind of paranormal activity going on as they only see light walking at night 🤣🤣.

    Low-key if coconut crabs and spider crabs could square off it would make the ultimate bossfight

    Imagine being at a resort in the Caribbean, 2am drunk,🌿 staggering to your room and you hear this eerie scraping on the pavement.
