Original: Giant, Meat-Eating Crabs Are the Latest Obstacle in the Search for Amelia Earhart's Plane https://gizmodo.com/giant-meat
Researchers searching for Amelia Earhart's lost aircraft have run into an unexpected obstacle: giant coconut crabs, the world's largest land crabs, known for their powerful claws and scavenging behavior. The discovery highlights how the crab population in the Pacific islands where Earhart vanished could have disturbed or destroyed physical evidence of the plane, complicating efforts to solve the decades-old aviation mystery.
Why now: The enduring mystery of Amelia Earhart's disappearance still attracts attention whenever new search obstacles or theories emerge.
