The land crab is a type of crab that primarily lives on land rather than in the ocean. They are found in tropical and subtropical regions, often near coastal areas. These crabs have adapted to a terrestrial lifestyle, developing gills that can function in air and a hard shell to protect them from predators. Land crabs are known for their strong claws and ability to dig burrows in the ground. They are primarily herbivorous, feeding on leaves, fruits, and other plant materials. Some species, like the coconut crab, are famous for their size and unique behaviors, such as climbing trees to access food.
