I don't know if they are edible but you have to watch those claws. If the crabs use those to break into coconut shells, imagine what they would do to a finger or toe? 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Snorter Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I read that they are also variably toxic without a way to decide which is safe to eat. Got to tell you, protecting vermin that harm humans just doesn't compute. Not my country, so only a comment. Here we just do what is necessary to stay safe, any legal means from shovels on up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullens African Lion Safari, Marsh Road, Warragamba, NSW Went through one of these years back, here in the U.S. Some idiots rolled down the windows, or even got out of cars in the lion area. Worse was a primate sanctuary. Some critters would get on the cars and rip off sideview mirrors, ariels (yes, that long ago!) or windshield wipers.
