Christmas Island crabs

National Geographic Did you know? The red crab is a Christmas Island, Australia, original found nowhere else in the world—some 120 million individuals cover the rain forest floor. Red crabs play a vital role in rejuvenating the forest. Their burrowing turns over the soil, which they fertilize with their droppings.

  1. There are so many red crabs. Don't like the look of those ants but can you imagine so many red crabs marching through your neck of the woods.

    What an interesting story - thanks for posting this.
