Brian Fernandes just sent this in, and it sent shivers up my spine… apparently “Coconut Crabs” or “Robber Crabs” are of the crab breed “Fuckus Hugeous”.
The coconut crab is able to crack coconuts with it’s claws and eat the inside.
Knowing that these things are insanely huge AND have pincers that could crack your skull open, why wouldn’t you hold one up to your face, near your tender supple body:
I know I would. I’d probably get drunk, fool around with my friends, and stuff it up my pant leg and be like “Look guys… I have CRABS! HAHAHA” and everyone would think it was hilarious… including the ER staff that sedates me while the surgeon tries to re-attach my genitles.
Oh, what’s that? You aren’t that impressed? How about if they can be sky-blue and scare the bejesus out of you as you walked through a forest?
I would totally pass out if I was walking through the forest and ran into one of these at eye-level near my head doing crab-things… I’d run screaming out of the jungle like a little girl.
It’s a real life head crab from Half Life!
So true… probably one of the reasons I have such a phobia about them.
ok, this freaks me out a bit…
I think Steve-O sticks one of these on his ass in an episode of Wild Boys.
wow… those things are huge!1 i saw 1 in front os my house. I almost fainted.. thats how i found this blog.
Ken where do you live? Is there any chance of you grabbing a picture of it?
How big was it, size of a soccer ball, dinner plate… bigger?
The nightmares have started all over again…
who gives a fuck about a crab anyway. I would have killed that bastard on the trash can and put him on my wall, or my fatass would eat him.
that is just gross!!!! >X-1
buahahahaha i want one it will be my evil apperentice
So like… How do I have sex with these things ?
FUCKING CRABS. GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY EARTH.
I KNOW THEY SHOULD GO FUCK THEMSELVES
Someone help me!!!! My medication is soooo not working!!!
imagine if that coconut was your head… theres already enough scsary things on this earth… now this?
Exactly… that’s why I would consider wearing full plate armor in the rain forest if I was going Coconut Crab hunting…
i agree with crabs make me scream like a 10 year old girl
GET OUT OF EARTH!
omg!why do you have to say 10 year old!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too!! But onley the big ones. I like little crabs!! The big crabs don’t seem real!
That would certainly stop me from strolling around in the dark barefooted.
Holy shit. If I even saw one of those on the beach, I would flip the fuck out and start shooting at everything that moved.
lol, Austin I have a mental picture of you seeing a giant crab half way down the beach, and just loosing your mind and shooting up the lunch tables and trees and stuff around you
Dude, just tell me where you live. I’ll bring the giant boiling pot (I really have one) and the crab cake mix. We eatin good in yo neighborhood.
Hahaha, then the crabs will pay!
That’s whack as! I LOVE CRABS!
I had a pet hermit crab for a day once, before they were in shops and became a craze, and his name was Albert and after freaking him out for a day I released him to the wild…
These crabs sound like awesome fun. Who wants to have a crab race?
Yeah I’ve been playing around with crabs forever, it was something to do to catch crabs.
I love them as well as squid and whales…but I don’t eat whales…and all these animals are way cooler alive.
Harpoon the Japs!

I pray that with the new info on finding Amelia Earhardt, landing on an island with these monsters, that she didn’t suffer long.

is your reply puts you in the same place???
i live on guam, an island in the pacific, and these crabs are delicious. as a matter of fact last month my boyfriend and his cousins went hunting for them and brought back 15 of them.
leanne, from what I’ve read they are becoming endangered… why did you need 15 of them?
Are they that good for eating?
well not here on the island, you just have to make sure the butt area is at least 3 in. wide. as for the amount they bought back,it’s because there was so many of them where they went.
oh and yes they are very good eating.
these can be found on Guam my dad recently caught one and gave it coconuts
anon, do you have any pictures of it you could share? You can email them to contact@thebuzzmedia.com and I would add them with-credits to the story.
@anon.. and don’t they taste yummy!!! can’t wait to go back home (Guam) for a visit and have my brother cook me up some coconut crab in coconut milk with pumpkin tips! *nom nom*
@Riyad.. my sister and her kids caught one crossing the road up north on Guam.. my niece, fearless as she is, held it like it was nothing.. granted it wasn’t AS ginormous as the one in the first picture, but my brother has definitely caught some huuuuuge ones
ahhhh… makes me miss home!!! ^_^
gema,
If you send us pictures I’ll add them to this post!
More coconut crabs == a good thing.

MMMM Where’s the butter
ATTACK ITS WEAK-POINT FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE!
Alek — lol, Lost Planet style!
These crabs are indigenous to the island of GUAM. I lived there for two years. There are plenty of Chamarro Seniors living there who are missing fingers. You can catch and eat the males if they are 3″ or more across the back. Females are illegal. They crawl like a spider instead of sideways like a crab. They climb trees and fences. When it rains they leave their holes and when you run over one in your car, you think you ran over an armodillo.
Richie,
How fast do they move? You ever accidentally find one in your house?
Now THAT would be something…
I’m with Christopher18,,, It’s DINER TIME!

I agree, they are amazing creatures. I did some quick searching and didn’t come up with much with regards to a show on Discovery or special on Animal Planet that covered them.
