For crabs, I believe that everyone should not be unfamiliar, every year to eat hairy crabs in the golden autumn season, but also let crabs become the darling of the market, but have you ever seen crabs that will go up to trees but can't swim, and can tear coconuts by hand? Originally it was a big hegemon, but it was eaten by foodies from all over the world as an endangered species, netizens: a pot can not be put down.
Coconut crab is another species that is eaten as an endangered species by foodies, it is a kind of land crab, and it is the largest land crab, the largest can grow to a meter in size, and it is not far from our common king crab, but its size looks more stout. It is also famous because it likes to eat coconuts, and the two large crab claws can directly tear open the coconut to remove the pulp, so people also call it coconut crab.
Coconut crabs originally lived in the ocean, but may be because of environmental changes, so coconut crabs slowly transformed into land creatures, to now, coconut crabs have been free to live on land, although still can not leave the water for a long time, but the demand for water is not large. But this is a very magical scene, that is, it is afraid of water, if the coconut crab is kept in the water, it may be drowned.
Although they evolved into water-afraid crabs, coconut crabs also have their own unique skills, they can climb trees. Although coconut crabs occasionally eat small fish and shrimp, the main food source is coconuts, and coconuts hang on high trees, coconut crabs can only climb the tree to knock the coconuts down in order to get food. Therefore, in the living area of coconut crabs, you can find a few more large crabs on the coconut trees at night.
Coconut crab is a beach bully, and the large crab claws that can tear coconuts by hand also make ordinary animals dare not provoke it, but the taste of coconut crab is too delicious, so many foodies are fascinated. Although the coconut crab is widely distributed, but under the efforts of foodies in various countries, coconut crabs have been designated as endangered species in previous years, so it is better to see coconut crabs on the beach than to catch them at will, and if you want to try its delicious taste, it is better to buy legal ones directly.
