    Doesn’t sound believable. Then again, 4 kg land arthropods that casually crack coconuts, kill birds, live for decades, and steal human objects, aren’t believable either.

      A popular internet meme suggests that Amelia Earhart crash-landed on Nikumaroro and her remains were rapidly consumed by coconut crabs on the island.[63][64][65] However, as no evidence of Earhart’s plane has been found on or near Nikumaroro, this theory is generally discredited by historians.[66][67]
