Is it a weasel, specifically Mustela frenata? In the winter, when it's coat is white as shown, it's commonly known as an ermine. In the summer, it's coat is brown and it's known as a stoat.

Ha! I thought this lil guy was a mock-up, but then I searched around and realized that he is (or at least could be) real. He's a lemur too.

Coconut crab? That thing is cool in a never-seen-it-and-it's-creepy kind of way.

Coconut crab is correct. It's the largest land crab in the world, and I think it may also be the largest arthropod.

Thank you thank you, now I can go to bed. Smile

You're up.

Hey, y'all check out the wiki page on coconut crabs. They can lift up to 64 pounds in their claws! Good night, rosborne.....

Anyone else want a turn?
