The name Cunaepraedator means "nest-plunderer".
==Ecology==
==Ecology==
Cunaepraedators were a species of coast-dwelling crabs that evolved beyond the need for water, and lived entirely on land. Females kept eggs in a special compartment under their bodies. The eggs were fertilized by males using their large pincers to tip females up and clasping their secondary pincers to the female's. The eggs hatch immediately into small crabs, with no larval stage. After a time of crawling over the mother, the infants would be gently brushed off on a seabird's nest, where they would grow and develop feeding on nest scraps or dead hatchlings. After the birds left the nest, so would the Cunaepraedators, and they would join their parents as adult scavengers.<ref name="SkullIsland1">Weta Workshop.
