You wouldn't want to let this coconut crab get a hold of you. Notice the size of the crab compared to the
standard 9 inch paper plate and cigarette pack. Photo courtesy Lyle Fisher VW-1 1961 - 1963.
The following is from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The coconut crab is the largest land-living
arthropod in the world. It is a highly apomorphic hermit crab and is known for its ability to
crack coconuts with its strong pincers in order to eat the contents. These claws can lift objects up to 64 lb.
They can live more than 30 years and grow to a weight of up to 40 lb, with a leg span of more than 3 ft.

As beautiful as these sunsets may appear, the actual beauty and "AWE" has not been captured. Many of the
colors and their intensity (red especially) are lost due to the ageing of the film from which these images
were copied.
