Dog with Crabs
Jorge Juan Sanchez tells us that Christmas Island’s Red Crabs migrate once a year to breed, marching from the rainforest slopes down to the Indian Ocean, and back to the forest.
The crab’s enemies are the yellow crazy ants, which kill millions of them every year. They spray formic acid onto the crabs, blinding them, and then they kill them and eat them.
