The Coconut Crab Can Grow Up To 3 Feet Long

In case you did not know, a hermit crab species called the Coconut Crab is the biggest crab in the world! These creatures can weigh as much as nine pounds and reach a leg-to-leg length of up to 3 feet 3 inches. They are found in various islands in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. They usually eat nuts, seeds, and fruits, although they also eat carrion and the like. Do not let the name mislead you because there is not a whole lot of coconut in their diet. They simply climb whatever they can when they feel threatened and are looking for safety. Trust us, you will never forget the sight of these creatures scaling a wall!
