Please meet my friend the coconut crab. Locals tell me that his
kind are the largest crabs in the entire world.
The name is appropriate because this guy loves climbing palm trees to
feast on coconuts, which he can open with his bare claws.
Being a hermit crab, he probably used a coconut for
his protective shell when he was younger… and he will sometimes even mimic
being a coconut.
If he tries to take my
finger, or grabs a hold of anything else he shouldn't, the locals have a secret way of
rubbing his tummy to loosen his grip.
