Sooo... did that get your attention like it got mine? I mean this thing is freaking HUGE!
They’re native to Guam and other Pacific islands, thank God! I don't know about you but I am sure glad that the US doesn't have these things! So, in WWII, American soldiers stationed in the Pacific theater wrote home with tales about entire atolls being covered in the armor-plated giants. These crabs can crack a coconut in one swipe; but they’re generally too slow to be very dangerous to humans :)
