Two coconut crabs. A bare-chested Fijian man holds up two large coconut crabs (Birgus latro) for the camera. An original caption comments: ""These crabs live on the ground but climb the tallest palms to eat the coconuts. To catch them, the Fijians tie grass round the trunk of the palm. When the crab backs down and feels the grass it releases its hold on the trunk and drops to the ground, being either killed or stunned by the fall"". Fiji, 1965. Fiji, Pacific Ocean, Oceania.
