Animals That Outsmart Everyone with Their Sneaky Survival Tricks

The Crafty Coconut Crab

Coconut crabs are the giants of the hermit crab world, and they’ve developed a powerful set of survival tricks. Not only can they climb trees to snatch coconuts, but they also use their crushing claws to open them—no easy feat. They’re known to steal items from campsites and even drag away cookware and shoes.

They also scavenge for food, using stealth and strength to outcompete other animals. Their ability to scale vertical surfaces and open locked food sources makes them a true survivalist. In island environments with limited resources, the coconut crab thrives by being part burglar, part brute, and all genius.
