The Coconut Crab is the largest land-living arthropod and typically weighs in at a staggering 4kg/9lbs and gets its name from its ability to open coconuts with its claws which it can climb the palm to collect. From claw tip to tail tip it can grow to be around 80cm/32inches and have a body around 40cm/16inch from nose to tail and around 90cm/36inches across the legs. It is a type of land hermit crab and would actually drown if it was under water for more than a very short time. They are believed to live for over 60 years but are known to live at least 55 years.
