Millions of confused crabs stuck on Christmas Island
Unusually dry weather has left of millions of crabs on Christmas Island confused as they delay their annual migration to the sea.
There are over 100 million red crabs on Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean, much of which is designated as a national park. The crabs are unique to the island and protected by Australian law.
Authorities say “exceptionally dry” conditions have put a dampener on this season’s migration, where the mass of red crabs usually blocks off traffic in a normal year.
