The coconut crab (ヤシガニ yashigani?) is a bug in Doubutsu no Mori e+. It can be found on fruitless palm trees from 7 PM to 8 AM from early summer to early fall. The player must shake the tree, and the bug will fall onto the ground where it will crawl around and can be caught.

Real-world information[edit]
Birgus latro, the coconut crab (also known as the robber crab or palm-thief), is actually a species of hermit crab, and as such is phylogenetically distinct from true crabs. It is the only species in the Birgus genus, with all other terrestrial hermit crabs being members of Coenobita. Unlike other species of hermit crabs, once young coconut crabs reach maturity, they develop a hard exoskeleton that negates the need for a separate shell. Despite its name, coconuts are not a primary source of their diet, which mostly consists of fruits, seeds and nuts. They do, however, often climb coconut palms in order to escape predators, including other coconut crabs. Because it is the largest land-dwelling crab, it is extensively hunted by humans and is only prevalent in areas where humans are not.
Notes[edit]
