Speaking of crabs


Theres this kind of crab you might not have heard of called the Coconut Crab, because they climb palm trees to fetch coconuts to eat. Their pinchers are so big and strong that they can crack right through the stiff, large, throbbing, rock-hard shell of a coconut. They have lungs and live on land--would in fact drown in water. Average lifespan: 80 years. The meat of a Coconut Crab is considered a delicacy and aphrodisiac and, much like the delicate blowfish, often contains fatal levels of poison due to the crab's indiscriminate diet.
