Yes, but it's coconut.   mmmmh coconut.

The blurb on that picture is wrong.  Coconut crabs, while cool, are not the largest crabs.  They're the largest land-living crabs.  Actually, the largest land-living arthropods (so, larger than any spiders or insects, as well).

Japanese spider crabs are far larger than coconut crabs.  Coconut crabs get up to maybe a three-foot legspan, and perhaps 10 pounds.  Spider crabs can be twelve feet across, and up to 40 pounds.  Lobsters have broken 40 pounds.

I just linked that a couple posts up. :)

That clicky noise in the video--I think they added it in post. However, how cool would it be if they had little wooden balls on the feet that made a chittering sound like that IRL?
