My dad was in the navy and got sent to the Pacific somewhere for some part of his training. He and some other guys were camped out on some tiny island in the middle of nowhere, and it's overrun with coconut crabs. They worked themselves up into a near panic over a rumor that their claws were strong enough to crush a human skull, and that they couldn't tell the difference between a human head and a coconut at night. Some laser targeted hazing right there. I'm sure some officer honed that rumor over many years, boy did he get them good.

I like to think the coconut crab is like an enforcer in the crab mafia. Like is some bird isn’t paying protection money, or is causing problems for the family, they call him, he shows up, snaps a few wings, maybe a leg or two, and badabing badaboom, he sent a vary clear message to the other birds that it’s his island and they better stay in the trees where they belong. Also I like to think he’s one of those goons where he’s quiet and everyone thinks he’s a little slow, but he’s really observant and smart. As for a name, i like Boris. He seems like a Boris.

Coconut and land hermit crabs will usually always spawn their ready to hatch eggs on the evening of a full moon.

I knew there was no way the bird could use the nut cracker, or even pick it up, but after I showed the bird what it did, I wanted to see what the bird would do, so I left it for him.
