Coconut crabs are Earth’s largest terrestrial arthropods! They have an incredible sense of smell, can live for ~60 years, and can crack bone with their claws! I’m finishing a paper on the genetic basis of their fantastic colors, so stay tuned!! 🦀🦑🌊

I finally left the upside down! Hoping all my followers can find me on #sci-sky! I’m Dr. Vicky Watson-Zink, and as a postdoc at Stanford, I study the evolution of terrestriality in land crabs! 🦀 I also love traveling, playing video games and board games, and exploring the world with my curious kid!
