Introduction of Coconut Crab

The coconut crab (scientific name: Birgus latro) is a hermit crab that can grow up to 1 meter long. It is not only the largest terrestrial crab, but also the largest terrestrial arthropod. It is huge in size and can weigh up to 6 kilograms. The coconut crab has a hard shell and two strong and powerful claws. It is a master of climbing trees, especially straight coconut trees. It is named because it can use its strong claws to peel off the hard coconut shell and eat the coconut flesh inside.
