Crab Shoot

The Coconut Crab is indigenous to the Oceana territories. Its prehistoric body resembles closely a cross between a lobster and an Alaskan King Crab. Here is a study on an immature one. (they get twice this big!)

We have these on Guam. Their claws are so strong that they can pierce through coconut husk as well as human fingers/toes.

Trees blowing in the wind, water rushing against the shore, blue skies, sea life... Wow, never in my life have I been so close, yet so far away.
Thank you for taking me there...

Now that brings back memories! I was attacked (sorta) by on at 4:00am when I was out for a run! He was in my way so I "hurtled" him and he reared up all mad. Not sure who was more shocked by the incounter him or me!

Really awesome shots. I really regret not getting some pix of them.
