That wouldn't happen to be a Guamanian Coconut Crab, would it?

It is. I take no credit for the photo though. 'Twas simply found on Google.

Those fuckers are so badass, if they lose a claw, it regenerates in surprisingly short order.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut_crab#Relationship_with_humans

Adult coconut crabs have no known predators apart from other coconut crabs and humans. Its large size and the quality of its meat mean that the coconut crab is extensively hunted and is rare on islands with a human population.[45] The coconut crab is eaten by Southeast Asians and Pacific Islanders and is considered a delicacy and an aphrodisiac, and intensive hunting has threatened the species' survival in some areas.[11] While the coconut crab itself is not innately poisonous, it may become so depending on its diet, and cases of coconut crab poisoning have occurred.[45][46] For instance, consumption of the sea mango Cerbera manghas by the coconut crab may make the coconut crab toxic due to the presence of cardiac cardenolides.[47]

Wacky. I bet Diego Garcia, along with that island in the Pacific called the Kwajalein Atoll, would be fascinating to visit. Aren't they both basically floating military bases?

Great.... Huge land crabs that are poisonous AND radioactive! Sounds like the beginnings of half life 3.

What everybody has failed to mention is just how GODDAMN TASTY coconut crabs are! As good as, possibly better than Maine lobster or dungeness crab.

Dod a chock? Did a chick?

[–]revbone 0 points1 point ago

All they eat are coconuts and their meat is UNBELIEVEABLE

If you are ever in the South Pacific, splurge for a night and get a nice dinner of these (they can be a little expensive).

Oh yeah, they are called cocnut crabs and google it for more scary goodness :)
