The Giant Coconut Crab, also known as the robber crab or palm thief, is a species of terrestrial hermit crab and largest land-living arthropod in the world.
Found on islands across the Indian Ocean and parts of the Pacific Ocean, the species is widely reported to climb trees to pick coconuts, which it then opens to eat.
