Which animal is known as the "Palm thief"?

Rey, The robber crab is named because of its habit of carrying off any foreign items it comes across – they are particularly fond of shiny objects such as pots and silverware. 😏

Player #83821895, this is correct, I lived on Tahiti and there all palm trees have a large metal ring around them to prevent those crabs to climb and cut the coconuts down. they are also an expensive meal there in restaurants, their one pincer they use to cut down coconuts is huge and when cooked, will provide you with a large piece of delicious crab meat.

Rey, i heard from stories that they climb the palm, cut the coconut then eat the coconut meat," hence palm thief" it is abundant in the island of Batanes here in the Philippines.

Jebeh, if you had bothered to read the comments, the answer was provided by another player.

random citizen, thank you for that explanation. I expected the answer to explain why they are called thieves or robbers. You did that for us.

Jebeh, I have no idea

Rey, they mainly food are coconut, they do climb the trees to get coconut if they don’t find it in land

I heard that they are absolutely delicious 😋

We have them on our family's beach resort
