More than 120 million red crabs can be found on the rain forest floor of Christmas Island in Australia. Red crabs live alone in dirt burrows, or deep rock crevices. Crabs stay in the shade of their dwelling for most of the year. In October or November, when the wet season is about to return, crabs begin their migration to the shore. This timing coincides with the lunar cycle and the tides.

Now, that’s an interesting migration of animals. They’ve filled the whole road.
How interesting! Nature always amazes me.
I am always amazed as well. So much to learn.
