Cool Animals and things....

These don't bite (I think/hope) but I don't like the thought of them running over me when I'm asleep!!

They are very very fast!!- They measure about 15cm diameter

Very rare in Tokelau!!Could bite!!

Eel's Ezra caught

Up one night at 2am, wet beds, bad dreams, everyone woken up!! Matt went out to the loo and saw this beast on the deck!!

The coconut crab, Birgus latro, is a species of terrestrial hermit crab, also known as the robber crab or palm thief. It is the largest land-living arthropod in the world, and is probably at the upper size limit for terrestrial animals with exoskeletons in recent times, with a weight of up to 4.1 kg (9.0 lb). It can grow to up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) in length from leg to leg. It is found on islands across the Indian Ocean and parts of the Pacific Ocean as far east as the Gambier Islands mirroring the distribution of the coconut palm; it has been extirpated from most areas with a significant human population, including mainland Australia and Madagascar.

Hermit Crab (we were wrong actually a coconut crab, thanks for people letting us know) , wouldn't want to get a nip from this guy.

Cool as colours, note the toilet in the background, this guys was big!!
Table he is on is 42cm wide and He covered the whole width.

Gross fish head Ezra found on the beach and brought home!! Shows how big some of these brutes get though!
