It took more than ten small boats to transport everyone and things to the island, the beach here is very good, the sand on the beach is white and fine, stepping on it is like stepping on the snow, the two little South China tigers jumped from Tong Ling's arms when they arrived on the beach, and ran crazy on the beach with joy, it should be suffocated on the boat these days.

After all, the South China Tiger, the king of the forest, drifts on the boat every day, although it is not like seasickness at the beginning, but the feet cannot touch the ground, and it is good that it is not suffocated.

These two little guys are also about to be full moon, often fed with spiritual water, and the size is getting bigger and bigger, only ten centimeters when they were born, and now they are more than thirty centimeters, similar to two or three months of puppy, and the patterns on their bodies have begun to be revealed, and they are extremely close to their parents, and it is estimated that they will grow into a real South China tiger in about half a year.

I brought everything ashore, found a flat terrain, set up a tent, lit a bonfire, put two large barbecue grills aside, the charcoal had been lit, boxes of mutton, beef, fish, squid, vegetables, etc. were put on display, and a group of people were busy with their work.

Choose the right place to set up a tent, clear the bushes that may hide snakes and insects around, level the foundation and fix it, and tents will appear on this beach.

The people in charge of the barbecue began to thaw the food, and boxes of beer were also put out, and everyone was very enthusiastic, after all, they had been dangling on the boat for a week, and it was inevitable to be excited when they stepped on the field.

Yang Yi also had to show the demeanor of the boss and mingle with the crew, so he also tossed the barbecue with Yu Xiu and a few others, except for some who would be sent on duty on the ship for a while, the others all looked at the roasted oily mutton, including the two little South China tigers.

When the simple tables were set up and the first barbecues were served, everyone sat in a circle, opened the beer and ate and drank, and the laughter floated far and wide over the vast Indian Ocean.

The two little tigers ate some roast beef, and ran around to play, but after a while, they heard the roar of the little tiger coming from a distance, sounding like they were encountering some threat, Yang Yi hurriedly stood up and ran out in the direction where the sound was made, and Yu Xiu and other three women and a group of crew members with axes and machetes also followed.

When they came to the side of the two little ones, they were in an encirclement posture at this time, staring at a huge spider-like thing, testing forward from time to time, and then falling back violently, the two little ones played with this giant thing, which was already quite a bit of the style of the king of the forest.

"What is this? Spider?"

Later, Yu Xiu's three daughters also ran over panting, and when they saw the ugly monster surrounded by two little tigers in the middle and kept spinning in circles, they screamed out loud.

"It's okay, this is a coconut crab, not a spider, it's not poisonous and the attack is not strong, I didn't see the two little guys practicing with it, it's pretty good!" Yang Yi said with a smile to the three girls and the crew members who followed behind.

"Good guy, this coconut crab is really big enough, at least it has to be more than ten catties, boss, if there are a lot of coconut crabs on this island, we will send it this time!" Sun Liancheng was rarely excited, and his voice changed.

"Yes, very nice guy, bring this one back first, let's hurry up and eat, after eating, search for coconut crabs on the island in batches, as long as you catch them all over two catties!" Yang Yi arranged.

"Okay!" everyone agreed with a smile.

A crew member walked over and picked up the coconut crab from behind, regardless of the crab legs in front of him constantly struggling, smiling so much that his mouth couldn't close, he had been out to sea for so many years, coconut crabs had been seen, but such a big coconut crab was really the first time to see, just this one was less than 810,000, and he could only touch and put there, and no one could take it away.

Although this island is not big, there are a lot of coconut trees, if you can catch a hundred or so, the cost of this trip to the sea will be back, and this thing does not occupy much land, and a hundred piles up do not account for a small cabin, who doesn't like it.

Back to the campsite, everyone's interest was higher, and they kept discussing the coconut crab, each crew member took turns to take pictures with it, and some people deliberately took out the beef roast reward and found two little guys, Yang Yi was also doing science popularization with Yu Xiu Sannu and Wang Weidong.

Coconut crab, also known as Bagua crab, is a genus of coconut crab in the family Decapoda hermit crab, which is a hermit crab with a huge size, can grow up to 1 meter long, and weighs up to 3-4 kilograms, which is not only the largest terrestrial crab, but also the largest terrestrial arthropod on the earth today.

They are mainly found in tropical forests near the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. With a hard shell and two strong and powerful claws, it is a master tree climber, especially a straight coconut tree. You can peel off the hard coconut shell with a strong double chela and eat the coconut flesh inside, so it is called coconut crab.

Although the coconut crab is called a crab, it is not actually a crab, it belongs to the phylum Arthropods, a member of the family of terrestrial hermit crabs of the crustacean decapods, to put it bluntly, they are a kind of hermit crabs, but they are not like hermit crabs that carry their nests all day long.

Their bodies are divided into cephalothorax and abdomen, which is the same as that of spiders, so the first time you see it, you will think that it is a giant spider, but in fact it is a distant relative of spiders. They have a well-developed cephalothorax, a very hard shell, and two powerful chelae, one large and one small, and look extremely fierce. In fact, this pair of chela is not an ornament, and the chela of the coconut can be easily clamped, so it can only be caught from behind like a crab, and if it is caught by their large chela, the arm can be directly clipped.

Coconut crabs like to haunt at night, so if you go to the coconut grove to look for coconut crabs in broad daylight, it is difficult to find, because coconut crabs are very afraid of strong light, so they hide in the cave to rest during the day, which is why Yang Yi ordered to look for coconut crabs overnight tonight.

Night is the world of coconut crabs, and no matter the wind and rain, lightning and thunder nights, they can't stop the activities of coconut crabs. The trunk of the coconut tree is very straight and can reach a height of 15-30 meters, which is a height that requires the tools to climb it.

And for coconut crabs, such a height does not stop them. They have many small teeth-like structures on their hind feet that can hold on to the trunk of a tree, and two powerful large chelas can easily grasp the trunk, and then climb up with a single kick on their hind feet.

The coconut crabs that climb to the top of the tree will use their chelates like scissors to cut off the coconut, but the coconut does not fall, they will lie comfortably between the twigs of the canopy, peel the coconut, the hard coconut shell is like paper in front of their pair of strong chela, the delicious coconut meat is presented to them in a short time, and then it is time for them to enjoy the delicious food.

Coconut crabs grow very slowly, growing up after each molt, usually in autumn and winter. Juvenile crabs molt about 2~3 times a year, and the number of molts decreases as the individual grows larger and larger, and the frequency of adult crab molting is only once a year. Scientists have proved that they can live to 60 years old, and will stop growing after adulthood, which is a rare long-lived animal in the animal kingdom, usually not only eat coconut, but also eat a variety of fruits, nuts for food, but also eat some carrion or the same kind, especially with mice is a pair of natural enemies that kill each other when they meet.

Although the coconut crab looks very different from the crabs we usually eat, its shell is hard, and there are two strong and powerful giant claws, but it is definitely a delicacy, whether steamed, stewed or boiled in soup, the taste of coconut crab is unforgettable.

The coconut crab meat is delicious, belly fat and nutritious, especially its eight legs, which taste like the tail of a lobster, and has a unique coconut flavor. It is also regarded as a nourishing natural game, such as the paste yellow in the belly is mixed into rice wine to eat, and it is considered to be a good product for strengthening the body, so coconut crab is not only the research object of biologists, but also becomes a precious seafood delicacy and is favored by people, and has great development value.

Because of the concern about catching coconut crabs, the rest of the time went quickly, leaving the people who guarded the camp, the rest were divided into four roads and went in four directions to the island, each team also pulled a small cart, with a cage welded of steel bars, which was originally used to transport big fish on the boat, but I didn't think that it would be used here, specially used to transport coconut crabs to the camp.

For a while, the light of flashlights flashed everywhere on the small island, and Yang Yi was also in a single team, with three girls, Wang Weidong and Zhang Feifei, walking through this dense coconut grove, and from time to time heard the shouts of finding coconut crabs in the distance.
