Bit if a misleading title "Those crabs, the theory goes, ate Earhart after she perished on the island."

The theory is not that a bunch of toddler sized crabs ate her alive like a horror movie

"three-foot-long coconut crabs"

oh god, those things are horrifying

Amelia Earhart (artist depiction)

Dud-a-chum?

The bones found on the island weren't Amelia's.

c/science_memes is right again! Everything does turn into a crab.

And people claim no one's doing real science anymore...

To test this theory, the International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) gave the crabs a pig carcass to feast on. Turns out the crabs swarmed the pig’s body, removed most of its flesh, and moved some of the bones as far as 60 feet away. “This tells us crabs drag bones,” TIGHAR’s Tom King told National Geographic.

The end of the article disproving the headline. Wild

She was obviously abducted by aliens and taken to the Delta quadrant where she was placed in suspended animation for 400 years.

Clickbait title but. That kind of stuff is why I always equip a Switchaxe when I go merry about places where there are crabs.

Did-a-chick? Dum-a-chum?

Those damned cannablistic crab people!

Am I the only one who has never cared about Amelia Earhart? How come nobody talks about her navigator?
