Today's Theory About Amelia Earhart's Death Involves Giant Crabs - Holidaymaker_Mark_Pierrot_holds_a_massive_coconut_ crab_during_a_-a-26_1454582612732.jpg

The horrifying creatures known informally as coconut crabs grow to “the
size of dogs� and can “tear through solid matter with claws nearly as
strong as a lion’s jaws.� They have even been “known to scavenge off
corpses.�

I used to see those critters on Guam and I gave them a wide berth. Those
claws can snip a hand right off, and I heard about people going to sleep on
the beach and one of these monsters coming along and cracking their heads
open like a coconut.

While their meat is considered edible, eating it is discouraged because
these crabs absorb the toxins from poisonous shellfish.
