The migratory season of red crabs usually starts at the end of the year (October-December), when the rainy season helps them move more easily and easily.
This year, about 120 million red crabs migrate from forests on Christmas Island, Australia, to the Indian Ocean coast to begin the new breeding season.
The first crabs appeared in mid-November and began to freeze over the past week, causing the roads in Christmas Island to turn into red carpet.
After going to the sea, male crabs will find and dig burrows to hide, female crabs will go to these caves to mate with male crabs and then crawl to the sea to lay eggs.
The annual migration of red crabs has become familiar to the people here and this is also an attraction for tourists.
Because the number of red crabs is very large, the local authorities often have to put signs prohibiting roads for vehicles and pedestrians.
This red crab is native to Christmas Island and Cocos Islands in the Indian Ocean.They can be orange or burgundy but are rare.
