Real-world information[edit]
Birgus latro, the coconut crab (also known as the robber crab or palm-thief), is actually a species of hermit crab, and as such is phylogenetically distinct from true crabs. It is the only species in theBirgus genus, with all other terrestrial hermit crabs being members ofCoenobita. Unlike other species of hermit crabs, once young coconut crabs reach maturity, they develop a hard exoskeleton that negates the need for a separate shell. Despite its name, coconuts are not a primary source of their diet, which mostly consists of fruits, seeds and nuts. They do, however, often climb coconut palms in order to escape predators, including other coconut crabs. Because it is the largest land-dwelling crab, it is extensively hunted by humans and is only prevalent in areas where humans are not.
Notes[edit]
- ↑All bugs and fish in the first-generation games can appear at a lower spawn rate up to five days before the start of their first month of availability.
