My friend is a native Hawaiian. You maybe right that there are no more coconut crabs anymore in Hawaii.
he was just telling me his experience when he was a teenager where he was the only one who knew where the coconut crabs reside. He would go to extreme hills and mangroves to get there. And it was his secret place.
But as the civilization progresses, no one can tell if they become extinct.
I remember very well I hunt birds, and fish right after I got out of our house, now, it was rows and rows of urban houses abound. I even remember the fences were bougainvilleas and gumamelas. Now nothing but concrete and rocks.
I'd see my friend sometime today if his secret place is still a secret. He also told me his secret place where he fished large fish and catch a bunch in no time at all. It's another secret place of his. Just his.
