Oh crab! Annual migration of shellfish begins; Australian island turns red
Christmas Island’s annual red crab migration has commenced, with up to 100 million crabs journeying to the ocean for breeding after seasonal rains. Roads turn red as the crabs traverse the landscape, requiring locals to adapt their routines and assist the crustaceans. This unique spectacle is a privilege for residents, culminating in egg release around November 14-15.
