Coconut crab in glass box
PU966-1
This terrestrial arthropod can be seen climbing a coconut tree trunk to pierce the shell of its powerful claws and finally eat the pulp... It is the largest of the Bernard L'Hermite family: the Birgus latro.
The specimen in this reliquary is a young, because in adulthood it can reach almost 1 meter in diameter. His sharp sense of smell can lead him close to the houses, in search of food or even a dead meat.
