Canberra, Saturday, November 20, 2021

Crabs are known to be a sea food among carnivores but no one would dare to go to a beach where crabs are crowded as some species of crabs bite unbearably. In Australia, known as Christmas Island, more than 50 million cannibals crossed millions of bridges and roads. Suddenly seeing a flood of crabs, the tourists were overwhelmed with fear. Every year, red crabs move from the forests of northwestern Australia to the National Park coast. This is believed to be the longest journey of a small life on earth. Crabs are a sight to behold as they pass by on Christmas Island. The island turns red.

Crabs were found everywhere on the island, whether it was a pool or a road. However, passing crabs on Christmas Island is not a tragedy but a joy. Preparations are underway for the crab to pass through the island months in advance. A pool or other object needs to be created or removed for crabs to pass easily. This natural journey of crabs may have been going on for decades but in the year 2006 a large number of crores of crabs came to mind. The journey from Christmas Island to Flying Fish Cove is spectacular. Some crabs even climb a three-story building. Some even fall after climbing very high but the body structure is such that most of them survive.

Experts believe that these crabs give birth after hatching in October and November. Male crabs flee to the islands as soon as it rains heavily. It is during this time that he meets females. Each female lays 1 lakh eggs in five or six days during the reproductive cycle. In 1 month, small crabs start to grow and at that time they are red in color. These chicks return to the rainforest. Adventurous tourists from all over the world come to Christmas Island to witness this crab journey. These crabs are cannibals and are dangerous if eaten together.
