What's even scarier is that it's a land crab and they invade people's homes to steal shiny objects (which they seem to be attracted to). This is where their other common name "Robber Crab" comes from.

Can you imagine hearing a noise in the middle of the night and finding that thing making it's escape with a piece of silverware?

As to how it could get in, well they rip open coconuts with the husk still on them, I can't imagine anything short of bars on the windows would keep them out.

They aren't a true crab either, they are actually a big hermit crab that doesn't wear a shell (as juviniles they wear a shell untill the armor on their abdomen thickens)

Seeing that coconut crab picture makes me hungry >.>

edit: yeah, now that I think about it, it really does look like a hermit crab. Check out the photo where it's in the coconut shell... definitely looks like a hermit crab there.

Yes but you don't have to worry about it breaking into your house at night either.

I don't know but I did some searching on them and found this:

Quote:
Villagers will often use these creatures to guard their coconut plantation from would-be thieves. The coconut crab prefers the ripe nut of a coconut and will not break open those that are in the process of growing. They will however attack an unsuspecting creature (people included) should they have the intention of picking a coconut near the coconut crab's resting spot."


And also:

Quote:
caution is necessary because the animals can also attack a person, if they feel threatened.


My god, what do they do? Spring off the tree and on to your face?

I also found more pictures.

Apparantly they are quite agile and are excellent climbers.
