This I find interesting! A monster looking crab, so strong it weighs just about eight or nine pound but can carry six times its weight. 

Its primary food is coconut as the name goes coconut crab but it can it almost anything even it's its own skin. 

I love crab as a lover of seafood but this one is scary, I will like to see one though.

It's really scary no doubt. Does it climb the coconut plant to eat the coconuts or wait on the ground for the coconut to fall! 

 

Who would like to eat such crabs?

It climb trees, maybe I would like to have a taste of it

The Coconut Crab or Uga in Niue. A Island Delicacy - Super Delicious but not something you want to mess with

Lol ok sounds like you have had it

Is that real?  Yes I think that one has scary covered.  It is not a good looking creature.  8 or 9 pounds is also pretty big.  

It is for real @gattino now imagine it can carry stuff 6 times its own weight...

This crab really so hard and strong. I am wonder to see this. 

I felt the same when I read about it

Coconut crabs live alone in underground burrows and rock crevices.

Great to @moniristi I didn't know they exist till now
