Watch Out for Their Claws
Coconut crabs generally have a red or blue shell and weigh about 9 pounds, but have a leg span of approximately 36 inches. Their size might not sound very intimidating, but don’t let that fool you. Their claws are said to have the same force as that of a lion’s jaw. So having these crabs get a hold of your fingers, toes or appendages will likely lead to you losing those appendages.
