I had never heard of this animal before. It’s loose in Colorado, probably a former pet. Video at the link.
Um, what? It’s difficult to tell how big these crabs are with no backdrop for compare and contrast, but they look huge. When you are in the ocean, you’re at the bottom of the food chain.
These are strange friends.
If you’re chased by a feral boar, just run. Or better yet, shoot it with a large bore handgun.
I love eagles, but this child narrowly escaped being taken by one. If you have small children or small dogs, it’s best to keep positive control over them while they’re not in the home. They can be taken by eagles, hawks or owls. I was in the back yard at another home years ago with Heidi, my 90 pound Doberman, and an Owl swooped in within feet of her at dusk. A very, very large bird indeed. I think it finally gained perspective on just how large Heidi was and did a 180 in mid air, within feet of me. I felt the air off the wings of that bird. Of course, Heidi was standing on her hind legs jumping at it. That night, the owl was lucky to escape with its life. It had made a very bad decision.

My Pyrenees has taken a rather large hawk on one occasion. It dropped off a tree branch to the ground and didn’t get airborne before he pounced on it.
Had a wingspan just short of 4’. I never did figure out what it dropped on.
