I think it's where we go Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Coconut Crab!

I have never eaten one - but my sister swears the flesh actually does taste like coconuts. Those claws certainly look like they could crack open a coconut

"also called the robber crab or palm thief, because some Coconut Crabs are rumored to steal shiny items such as pots and silverware from houses and tents"

So, you see? Something of a rascally rogue, really. Also:

"Coconut Crabs mate frequently and quickly on dry land in the period from May to September, especially in July and August. The male and the female fight with each other, and the male turns the female on her back to mate. The whole mating procedure takes about 15 minutes."

Just like college students!
