oh yeah. that makes sense. i can deal with big ole' alligators. never saw an anaconda but it makes sense to me. hell even throw in a T-Rex. it would boggle the mind but it is at least understandable...but a freaking crab the size of a dog? that's insane! insects in the millions..in swarms don't phase me. insects that look like they stepped out of a radiation pool in a 1950's scifi movie creep me the fuck out!
The locals closed off the roads because if you ran over one of them, there's a chance the claws can puncture your tires and the locals hate receiving calls from terrified (and screaming) tourists stuck in a sea of red crabs with a flat tire.
Another thing: They're not "edible". And it's a crime to kill them as they are a protected specie. Go figure: Almost a million of them migrate to breed yearly and they are protected?
I just wanted to point that out. It wasn't my intention to suggest that they are not creepy. And by the way, they are totally harmless. Also, they have become extinct on most islands because humans like to eat them (they are quite tasty).

ReplyDeleteCoconut crabs are Crustaceans, not Insects. They are not even related.

DeleteThey are not creepy? Just imagine a crab that size running towards you...
DeleteLuckily they are pretty slow.
DeleteSolomon, search for the gigantic Australian bat.
ReplyDeleteI for one get concerned when giant crabs start looking through my garbage pales.
