    Take a squizzy at this thing.

    This is a coconut crab from Vanuatu.
    Evidently, some kids who sometimes go out to play in the coconut groves have had their foot nipped off.
    Horrible looking things......... eh ???
    Just do me a favour would you ??? Just check around your feet, and if you feel a movement....it could be one of those.

    I'd think that ugly thing would make a better guard then any human or dog. No one would think it was real.

    I looked it up in an Australian Slang Dictionary ...

    Squizz (noun) : look - "take a squizz at this"

    I was thinking the same thing. Are they edible????
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    according to wiki, they are edible, and are considered an aphrodisiac by the natives.
