Many people hear coconut crabs and think that they are similar to the crabs they see every day, but they are not. Coconut crabs are large, hard-shelled, and have two strong and powerful giant claws, named coconut crabs because they feed on coconuts. The coconut crab is a hermit crab, its largest living terrestrial arthropod, and is therefore recognized as the robber of crabs, which is beyond imagination.
Coconut crabs are large, weighing up to 6 kg, coconut crabs have a hard shell, two strong and powerful giant claws, are experts at climbing trees, especially good at climbing straight coconut trees, so they can use strong double claws to peel off the hard coconut shells, named after eating the coconut flesh in them.
Coconut crabs are shaped much like short-tailed crabs. Weights up to 6 kg. The body is very large, and the cephalothorax can reach more than 16 cm in length. The carapace of the body and appendages is calcified and thick, and there are wavy wrinkles on the surface of the cephalothorax and foot. The gill area of the cephalothorax is particularly enlarged, and there are many folds generated by the epithelium on the inner wall of the gill cavity, in which there are clumps of blood vessels used for land respiration. But according to relevant biologists, coconut meat is not its only food, it is hungry, whether it is the fruit of plants, rotten leaves and wood, rotten animal carcasses, crustaceans under the shell, even smaller than its own kind, it is really "gluttonous", so it got a nickname of "robber crab".
The coconut crab is originally a marine animal, but because it has many clumps of blood vessels on the inner wall of its gill cavity, which can help breathe, it can live on land for a long time, and does not often live in the ocean, only returning to the ocean to lay eggs during the breeding season. It can find or dig caves in places like sand or tree roots, and then live inside the caves. It is afraid of strong light, so it squats in the cave during the day to rest, and only goes out to explore and forage at night.
Coconut crab is almost impossible to exist in China, it is mostly distributed in American Samoa, Australia, Christmas Island, Cook Islands, Fiji, French Polynesia, Guam, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kiribati, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Micronesia Federated States, Nauru, New Caledonia Niue, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Seychelles, Solomon Islands, Taiwan, United Republic of Tanzania, Thailand, Tokelau Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu. Mauritius, where coconut crabs were originally found, was too soft and delicious because the flesh of coconut crabs was too soft and delicious. Human over-capture is also close to extinction.
