Yeah, I'm wondering if they're tasty with butter and Old Bay, a bottle of cold beer
I think I'd be unnerved if they just roamed the streets though ???
looks like youd have to call gallgher with his huge mallet to bust them open.
These are seriously freaky.... Coconut Crabs. OMG, spooky. Now with 77% more crab!

I jump if a toad hops out at night lol...I'd probably have to get a new pair of drawers if one of those things came out when I opened the garbage can haha
I can honestly say if it was 6am and I was taking the garbage out and came across that thing on the back of the can.... you would hear me scream like a 8yr old girl.... woozers that things huge and scary looking !
These are my thoughts exactly!!!
Yeah... I'm with ya, one of these pushing it's way across my driveway while I'm taking out the garbage would have an impact on my mental well being far beyond the usual opossum or Raccoon.
More pics. Turns out they are eatable, and NO you do not want to get drunk and pass out in the woods, cause yeah... They will eat you, or at least eat parts of you.
What I found striking though is that as hideous and scary as they are, their kids are still pretty darn cute, first image is of a baby coconut crab. The babies will shoulder on a shell just like a hermit crab, discarding them when they get big enough to go it alone.
From the sounds of it though they are also somewhat endangered. Shame.
See, the young ones are pretty darn cute... The adults not so much.

Or the smallest...
Pea crabs are some of the tinniest crabs... They are also symbiotic. Guess they live inside some shell fish.... Cool.
Not certain if the second pic is a pea crab but he's small.

Well yeah, but it's going to take a LOT of these to really fill a bucket at your table...
I wonder how they taste with Old bay. Which, BTW is a crime against nature unless you're talking them icky Maryland blue crabs.

I hear you can get a cream to take care of that.
