Coconut crab on Pratas Island
July 27, 2009
An endangered coconut crab is seen on the Taiwan-held Pratas Island in this undated file photo. Workers from the Marine National Park Headquarters in southern Taiwan's Kaohsiung City recently spotted three rare coconut crabs there. Coconut crabs are sometimes called robber crabs because some believe they steal shiny items from houses and tents. (CNA)
