The British Indian Ocean Territory is home to the largest terrestrial invertebrate alive today - the coconut crab - a relative of the land hermit crab that can have a 90 cm leg span and can climb coconut trees. In this film, we follow naturalist Stewart McPherson on a life-long mission to observe full-size coconut crabs in their natural habitat.

Coconut Crabs | South Pacific & French Polynesia | Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic
Huge, beautiful, and a little bit terrifying, the coconut crab is named for its favorite food (and for the faint flavor of coconut its meat gets as a result).

Holy Crab! Christmas Island Tourist Mark Pierrot Pictured with Giant Coconut Crab
Fearless holidaymaker Mark Pierrot picked up a coconut crab and posed fora photo in the Christmas Island jungle. Weighing up to 9lbs and measuring 3ft in length, the alien-like crustacean is the largest land-living crab in the world. Threatened by hunters, the coconut crab's meat is considered a delicacy and an aphrodisiac on some islands. A fearless tourist has returned home with the holiday snap of a lifetime after he encountered a giant crab on a tropical island in the Indian Ocean. Mark Pierrot was bold enough to pick up the massive coconut crab and hold it for the camera as he visited the jungle on Christmas Island. With terrifying claws that are powerful enough to crack coconuts, the alien-like crustacean is the largest land-living arthropod in the world, weighing up to 9lbs and measuring up to 3ft in length. It is estimated that tiny Christmas Island, an Australian territory, is home to more than a million coconut crabs – and they’re one of the reasons tourists visit. The monstrous crabs can climb trees but will drown in water, and are also known as robber crabs or palm thieves because they will get their claws on anything. Linda Cash, Christmas Island marketing manager, told AAP: ‘The reason they’re called robber crabs is because they steal everything. ‘If you leave something lying around, you can be pretty sure that a robber crab will take it away.’ She said the crabs have been known to steal shovels, drills and food, and there is an urban myth that one stole a rifle from a soldier who was stationed on the island decades ago. Nicknamed ‘crabzilla’ by those who have encountered it and shared their photos online, coconut crabs, a species of hermit crab, are found on many islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans, and once lived on mainland Australia. In addition to coconuts, their diet includes fruit, dead animals and other crabs. While the global population is not known, the crab is threatened by hunters, as residents of many islands consider their meat a delicacy and aphrodisiac. However, coconut crabs are protected on Christmas Island, where it is illegal to hunt and eat them. Those who do so can be fined AUD$5,500 (£2,700 or USD$4,000). Rachel Jones, head of the aquarium at London Zoo, once told MailOnline: '[The crab] lives in trees ... and gets into all sorts of places. They have big jaws that can crack open coconut shells, and they also feast on rats and other crabs. 'They can get pretty big, with a span of around 60 to 70 centimetres (23.6 to 27.5 inches). They are scary looking things.'

Is this The Best Island in the World? Chagos, Indian Ocean | 22 South | Ep.81
On this episode we are finally in one of our most wanted to visit places, Chagos, it has a lot of history and 2,000 people lived here until in late 60' the British evicted the Chagossians to Mauritius for the US Navy to build a military base in Diego Garcia. We visited the Salomon atol which with Peros Banhos are the only 2 atolls that sailors can stop on passage in the Indian Ocean.
It is truly paradise with incredible wild marine life. Definitely one of our highlights of this circumnavigation, absolutely loved it.
Enjoy and see you next week!

Ascension Island – natives and aliens
Watch the three-part Britain's Treasure Islands documentary series on BBC FOUR, starting Tue 12 Apr 2016 21:00. (repeated Wed 13 Apr 2016 20:00).
This mini-documentary explores the extreme fragility of the ecosystem of Ascension Island, a UK Overseas Territory in the Atlantic. We find a unique species of shrimp that occur in tiny brackish pools and occur no where else on Earth. On other parts of the island, unique ferns and other plants are endemic to tiny niche habitats. Such localised species are very vulnerable to change. Major impact arrived in the form of an extraordinary experiment undertaken by Joseph Hooker and Charles Darwin that aimed to create an artificial rainforest to capture water from the oceanic winds. Today complete unnatural man-made forests dominate the slopes of the tallest peak and have altered the ecological landscape of the island with major impacts on the native ferns and land crabs.

This show was produced by Merv Jones.

Crabs make a dry coconut shell their home - Andaman Islands
Which species of crab is this? Can any of your crab-loving folks help us, please?
Some of the common crab species found here are mud crab, purple shore crab, sand blubber crab, coconut crab and the giant robber crab (or coconut crab, Birgus latro), hermit crab etc. Help us identify this crabs from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India.
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands were shrouded in mystery for centuries because of their inaccessibility. These are the paragon of beauty and present a landscape full with scenic and picturesque extravaganza. These islands shimmer like emeralds in the Bay of Bengal. The dense forest which cover these islands and the innumerable exotic flowers and birds create a highly poetic and romantic atmosphere. Here the white beaches on the edge of a meandering coastline have palm trees that sway to the rhythm of the Sea. The beat of tribal drums haunt the stillness and technicolour fish steer their way through crystal clear water. This addition of strangeness to beauty which is responsible for creating the infinite romantic impact may be described in the following famous lines of Keats.
The natural vegetation of the Andamans is tropical forest, with mangroves on the coast. The rainforests are similar in composition to those of the west coast of Burma. Most of the forests are evergreen, but there are areas of deciduous forest on North Andaman, Middle Andaman, Baratang and parts of South Andaman Island. The South Andaman forests have a profuse growth of epiphytic vegetation, mostly ferns and orchids.
The Andaman forests are largely unspoiled, despite logging and the demands of the fast-growing population driven by immigration from the Indian mainland. There are protected areas on Little Andaman, Narcondam, North Andaman and South Andaman, but these are mainly aimed at preserving the coast and the marine wildlife rather than the rainforests. Threats to wildlife come from introduced species including rats, dogs, cats and the elephants of Interview Island and North Andaman.
