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.

Phylogeneticist here! You're right about the divergence time, it looks like it's 39.18 Ma (plus/minus 15 million years). The blue bars represent the error surrounding the divergence date. The error bars being that big would be indicative of the researchers A) not having fossils B) Coenobita to have had a bunch of extinction so there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding the the origin of that clade.

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.

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. I could see how badly the bird wanted this tool, but there was no way he could use it. He did spend a long time examining it though.

Coconut and land hermit crabs will usually always spawn their ready to hatch eggs on the evening of a full moon. This is why they need to still live near the ocean even though they live on land, they require the ocean to complete their reproduction cycle. Land hermit crabs also require a sea water source to keep their modified gills humid inside their shells.

I always knew the series' topic would eventually land us in an extremely exhasperated tangent about SpongeBob eventually.

I do so hope you cover epaulette sharks some day, they’re such precious little guys. Their little shimmy shammy makes you wonder how different life on dry land would’ve looked if someones other than us tetrapods had been the ones to shimmy out of the water

Now that you've mentioned that they remain to live in shells while still growing. I've probably picked up one or so without even realizing it was a young coco crab

When I was on my honeymoon in the South Pacific we met a coconut crab who wouldn‘t budge from the already small road we were on. I tried moving it with an umbrella as I believe they can take of my hand. Finally we both could go on our way still alive and all our limbs in tact. It is a scary animal.

I grew up in the Marshall Islands, and I occasionally saw coconut crabs at either the crack of dawn or dusk taking baby terns and other birds out of their nests when their parents would retrieve food, along with attacking and killing adult birds of their size. They also can rip and tear through those plastic storage bins. They're SCARY haha
