Coconut Crabs

I pulled this from a Facebook page. I thought it was ironic - most people I know would be trying to eat these crabs - not the other way around...

Big Crab

This is a Coconut Crab.

Big one too, about 24" across the carapace - but as far as they go, this is a medium sized one. If it weren't for humans, these guys would be at the top of the food chain in their respective environment. As time has moved on, these guys lost their motivation to move fast - in fact they move slow.

Maybe having two samurai front claws that can put the ginzu on a coconut has got something to do their apparent lack of speed...
