coconut crab?
Today on CHUNK! FUNK! GUNK! We rate
the COCONUT CRAB:
5/10 Chunk
8/10 Funk
0-1/10 Gunk
Here you go, crab enjoyer. I know you’ve been asking for coconut crab for a while now lol
What a big guy! Though it is a crab and therefore majority carapace instead of skin or fat, it does have a big ol’ badonker so it can get a little chunk. While it is a pretty regular looking crab in my opinion, I do think that it is recognizable when compared to other crabs. Especially since I believe that it’s one of the largest (or THE largest) species of land crab. It gets to have a little higher than average funk. I could not find any information on its slime or mucous secretion, so I am left to assume that it is a dry little guy.
Overall: 5/10
A very solid and interesting crab. I feel like I would find them a lot more interesting if I could see one in real life, but from photos alone it does not have the ‘wow factor’ for me.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Although they may not look it, coconut crabs and hermit crabs are closely related! The resemblance is strongest when coconut crabs are young; in their early juvenile stages, their shells are thin and soft, and they use seashells to protect themselves just like a hermit crab.

Why are they called coconut crabs?
Coconuts are pretty hairy and can get crabs like any other mammal. Theirs are just wayyyy bigger.

Animal of the Day!
Coconut Crab (Birgus latro)
(Photo from The Darwin Initiative)
Conservation Status- Vulnerable
Habitat- Indo-Pacific Ocean
Size (Weight/Length)- 4 kg; 60 cm
Diet- Fruits; Nuts; Seeds; Carrion; Reptiles; Crustaceans
Cool Facts- The coconut crab is the largest terrestrial crab on the planet. The largest individuals can grow to a meter long and weigh heavier than a newborn human. Surprisingly, coconut crabs are hermit crabs but when fully grown adults stop carrying a snail shell and grow a tough exoskeleton. Coconut crabs generally do the majority of their feeding on the ground but have been known to climb coconut palms, up to 10 meters high, to knock down coconuts to eat. Through a period of several days, the crab rips open the coconut with its massive claws. However, these crabs won’t turn up their antenna at tortoise hatchlings and smaller coconut crabs. Conservation projects work towards protecting egg-bearing females and massive breeder males from human hunting.
Rating- 12/10 (Can produce up to 330 kilograms of force from their claws.)
Thank you @triggerblaze345
