Recently, the world's largest crabs, in droves, participated in a family barbecue party, almost becoming a delicacy on the table. This species, which looks like a giant spider, is called the coconut crab. In order to retain moisture, coconut crabs will avoid the strong light of the day, which is a typical night owl, so it is normal to meet coconut crab troops in the big night barbecue. As a rare animal, it is protected by Australian law from disaster.

So why is the coconut crab so big?
Coconut crab is a hermit crab, but the coconut crab does not have the same snail shell constraints as the hermit crab, the body parts are calcified and hardened, and the coconut crab grows freely and becomes larger, just like the Invincible Hulk, it breaks free of the shackles and appears in a more ferocious and stronger image, can grow to 1 meter long, large, and weighs up to 6 kg. Thus, it has the title of the world's largest continental arthropod.
Its shell is hard, with two strong and powerful giant claws, it is also a master of tree climbing, especially good at climbing straight coconut trees, loves to eat coconuts, learns the skill of climbing trees and opening coconuts with bare hands, and can use strong double claws to peel off the hard coconut shells and eat the coconut flesh in it.

Coconut crabs have always grown in tropical forests, and although they come from the ocean, they do not often stay in the ocean. Because there is not much food in the ocean that can provide them with survival, they often go ashore to forage for food. But once ashore, it became a target for people to capture. This seafood, which has a lifespan of up to 60 years, can be seen everywhere on the previous big islands and small islands, and there are few natural enemies, but now it is eaten to the brink of extinction (sigh).
Aside from coconut crabs, what else do you want to trace back to?
