Look at these Crabs

Wow, very huge sized indeed. Have they attacked people? Looks like they could take an arm off.

The coconut crab truly freaks me out. It's like a huge evil armor plated spider.

Damn you, D0MiNAT0R for starting this thread and more so for posting that picture.

Slight saving throw - those claws look quite tasty.

could you imagine
sleeping soundly in bed
and one of them mothers crawling over your HEAD

i dont think i would sleep for a long time after

do you need a BIG hammer to crack them open
damn

A casino near me serves Alaskan king crab at their buffet. I have seen mountains of shell on tables as people gobble them up. All you can eat for 16.95. Been a while since I visited, think its time for a run.

I have a friend in AUS whose uncle is a fisherman. She told me a story that he told her; don't know if it's true, but it's funny.

The uncle was in his boat somewhere in the Solomons one day and saw what appeared to be a man lying in the sand, moving along the beach somehow.

He went ashore and found a drunk guy, passed out, being dragged by a few of the coconut crabs, presumably for dinner.

Sounds like an urban legend, doesn't it?

She also had a story about a woman who put her hand in one of those crab's burrows and had it cut off. THAT one I do believe.

New pic in, damn.
