The forest crab is a huge non-venomous snake, the Asian reticulated python is longer than the forest crab, but the forest crab is heavier than the reticulated python, and is currently the heaviest snake in the world.
At present, the longest and heaviest forest grasshopper recorded by the scientific community is 5.21 meters long and weighs 97.5 kilograms.
Many of the forest crabs are captured by humans in grasslands or forest edges, where there is less food and more humans are active, while the forest crabs deep in the jungle may be even larger, and some scientists speculate that the old forest crabs in hidden rainforests can be more than 9 meters long.
Inhabiting swamps, wetlands and tranquil rivers, the forest borer is mainly located in the tropical jungles of the Amazon and Orinoco river basins.
The forest nymph moves slowly on land, but is very fast and agile in the water. The eyes and nose of the forest borer are located in front of the head, allowing their bodies to be almost completely immersed in water when hunting prey.
The variety of food species is quite diverse, including fish, birds, many large mammals and reptiles are also hunted by forest hoppers, including capybaras, tapirs, deer and caimans.
The sheer size of the planthoppers makes it possible to think they hunt humans, but there is little evidence to support this claim. After suffocating the prey first, the forest grasshopper will slowly swallow it, and the forest grasshopper will also kill its own kind.
Native to South America, small colonies found in the Florida Everglades are thought to have migrated from alien species.
