end - part 1
Pairs excavate long horizontal tunnels into riverbanks using their feet and bills. These tunnels typically average 2 meters but can reach record lengths of over 8 meters.
Clutch: Usually consists of 3 to 5 eggs, which are incubated by both parents for approximately 26 days.
Giant Kingfishers typically hunt from a stationary perch overhanging water, making precise dives to catch prey. For larger prey like crabs, it will repeatedly beat them against a branch to remove shells and pincers before swallowing.
Giant Kingfishers are solitary and highly territorial, though they are monogamous breeders.

Shoveling sand to build a burrow and an adjacent sandcastle, this horn-eyed ghost crab scoops and carries with the large left claw then flings the sand with the smaller right claw. Interestingly, individuals are right or left clawed (laterality). Males heap the excavated sand high in the intertidal zone of a broad sandy beach, thought to be a territorial signal to other crabs or to attract a potential mate. Horn-eyed ghost crabs (Ocypode ceratophthalmus) range across the Indo-Pacific and Polynesia.
