EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Frederick William Bond in 1927, we are transported back in time to London Zoo. The image showcases a remarkable encounter between a keeper and an extraordinary creature known as the Robber or Coconut Crab. The large crustacean, with its impressive size and menacing claws, holds half a coconut firmly in its grasp. It appears as if the crab is being held up by the keeper, creating a comical yet intriguing scene. The dorsal view of the crab allows us to appreciate its intricate details and unique features. This historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into the world of invertebrates at London Zoo during that era. The photograph captures not only the beauty of these creatures but also highlights their importance within our natural world. As we marvel at this image, it serves as a reminder of how photography can transport us through time and space. Through Bond's lens, we witness an unforgettable moment frozen in time – one that brings together nature's wonders and human curiosity. This fascinating photograph from Bridgeman Images invites us to explore the rich history of zoology while appreciating the diverse beauty found within our animal kingdom.
