Just look at his lil eyes! How could you fear him?! He likes cuddling and is very gentle ^_^. But seriously, guys, stay away from his pincers/claws. They have a crushing force of 3,300 newtons (. _ . ) and can clip your fingies off in one snap!

If not crab, why crab-shaped?

Because that's nature's best design

The coconut crab is objectively one of the most terrifying creators on God's green earth

Jumping spider wan be your fren!

I can handle jumping spiders. I even capture wolf spiders that come into my house and let them back outside. (I heard wolf spiders eat the more meaner spiders.)
All others can fudge right off.

They are delicious though, because of their coconut diet.
stiffyGlitch@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 226d
Actually, they are omnivores, and therefore eat all things that they can. Even smaller crabs! It's the king cobra in the crab world.

Right, but the coconut in their diet helps make them tastier.

Even aviators!
