It's a spectacular scene where millions of red crabs begin their migration from a remote island in the Indian Ocean to breed more offspring.
The red crabs set off from the jungle of Christmas Island, 2,500 kilometres northwest of Perth, Australia, to migrate to the Indian Ocean, where they will mate.
This incredible scene attracts thousands of islanders, with 14 different species of crabs migrating, a process that lasts for weeks. The whole island seems to be covered with a red carpet, and they head towards the Indian Ocean. They lay their eggs there, and after a few weeks, small crabs that are less than 3 centimeters in size return to the jungle in droves. ”
It is estimated that there are about 120 million red crabs on the 135-square-kilometer island, and the population is only more than 2,000. This magical sight of nature forced people to block the island's roads so that the red crabs could pass smoothly, while all other traffic stopped.
Most of the island is closed to all vehicles for several months, and even where they can drive, people should be careful to detour and avoid these crabs, so it is better to walk faster. The red crab migration has put many things on the island to a standstill, and entire rainforests, tourist areas, beaches and roads have been closed.
So, so many red crabs have caused many foodies to ask: red and plump, it feels like it is cooked, can it be eaten?
One of the key reasons why the red crab has maintained such a large population for so long is that it cannot be eaten.
Australian red crab can not eat, the reason is because the red crab has a special toxic formic acid in its body, eating it will cause damage to the intestinal mucosa
Foodies should not be blind in their pursuit of delicious food, after all, life is important to tasting delicious food. At the same time, we should not easily believe rumors, but maintain our sanity. Be a sane foodie! Eat happily, eat happily, and eat healthy.
