This short video gives excellent real life, close up footage of several Coconut Crabs feeding on a large bird carcass. The coconut crab (Birgus latro) is a type of land hermit crab with a spectacular appearance and intriguing biology. Able to grow to... relatively gigantic proportions, the coconut crab is probably the largest terrestrial arthropod in the world. This huge crustacean is well adapted to life on land with long strong legs. It also has large muscular claws which are used for husking coconuts and opening the shell to eat the flesh. This is a unique behaviour amongst crabs and explains why this species is called the coconut crab. This is a great resource to help build background knowledge and to help make real world connections between nature and the classroom. (1:16)
