robber crabs steal and destroy guns
"..Robber crabs don’t just settle for stealing rifles. They’ll steal cameras, shoes, rucksacks, camping gear and break open eskies. They’re also known for climbing up flyscreen doors outside kitchens where food is cooking.

“The biggest one I’ve seen is about 4.5kg in weight, and about one-metre across,” Orchard says. “No one really knows for sure how old they are. The 2-3kg crabs are about 50 years old.

“I have seen over 300 robber crabs around a fruiting Arenga palm in the national park at different times. It’s a magnificent sight.”
