Luring in the Coconut Crab | Primal Survivor

·Nov 11, 2024

In the South Pacific, locals have a basic but effective method to catch their prey: the baited stick. First, we have to collect U coconuts—dry ones. Yeah, let's make a sharp steak, huh? The coconut aroma will waft across the island, and with any luck, we'll lure in the monster we're after.

These crabs come out at night to feed, and they feed on coconuts. Their claws are so incredibly powerful that if you were to get your finger inside there, they'd lop them right off. And if you don't know what you're doing, they're very dangerous.

Here's one right here!

John: "John! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's one right here!"

Oh my God, it's huge! It's a coconut crab! I reckon it's at least 4 lb of meat. Be careful! Yes, this thing is so, so powerful. I'm just trying to hold on—if I let go and it gets a hold of me, my hand is gone.

Look at that! Look at those huge, huge claws! This is the largest arthropod in the world, and it doesn't even look like it's from this world. Look at that amazing blue color! God!

To show you how powerful these things are, watch this! Imagine if that was my finger. A meal like this would last several days, as protein is slow to break down. But believe it or not, this is still a juvenile, and locals only eat fully grown adults to keep the island's crab population healthy.

We are actually going to let them go, but it is kind of too bad, because that is a serious meal right there—a lot of protein!
