Coconut crabs back in spotlight amid Earhart expedition

Original: coconut crabs

Coconut crabs are drawing renewed attention as a Purdue University-led expedition arrives on Nikumaroro island in the Pacific to search for evidence of Amelia Earhart's 1937 disappearance. The island is central to one theory holding that Earhart died there as a castaway, with coconut crabs possibly scattering or consuming her remains. Crews have set up onshore operations, reviving interest in the giant crabs' role in the mystery.

Why now: A new expedition to Nikumaroro has revived the theory connecting coconut crabs to Amelia Earhart's disappearance.
