Christmas Islander Encounters An Unseen Resident And Links It To The 7 Decades Old Disappearance Of A Pilot

Coconut Crab

This mysterious creature Mark discovered was the coconut crab. Falling in the same line of the crab family, this species is very different from other crab species. It is the cousin of the water-based hermit crab. Unlike Hermit crab who lives most of life in water, the coconut crab spends all his life on the land. The coconut crab can grow up to 3-feet wide and weighs around 10 pounds. But they aren’t as sweet as Mike made them look and don’t forget Amelia Earhart.
