00:00Ever seen a crab climb a tree? No? Well, get ready for this. Meet the coconut crab,
00:07the largest land-living arthropod in the world. This absolute unit can weigh up to nine pounds
00:14and span three feet across. But its size isn't even the craziest part. These crabs are expert
00:21tree climbers. They scale palm trees with their powerful claws, sometimes climbing over 30 feet
00:28high. And what are they after? Coconuts! They use those massive pinchers to snip coconuts from the
00:36tree, let them fall, and then crack them open on the ground to feast on the sweet meat inside.
00:44They're basically the bodybuilders of the crab world, with a diet to match. So next time you're
00:50on a tropical island and hear something rustling up in a palm tree, it might not be the wind. It
00:56might just be a giant crab on a coconut heist. Crazy, right?
