To everyone asking if they could eat these crabs: the Christmas Island Red Crabs are not considered edible for humans, and they are also a protected species so harming them is illegal
Well need more information than that. Why is it not a "considered edible for humans"? Why are the protected species? Is seems they grew large population very quickly in a matter of season? And when do red crab migration?
@@dann5515 I don't actually know much about these crabs, I just looked this up on google and found the following: They are not known to be poisonous to humans, but their flesh is 96% water and does not have a good flavour. Adult Red Crabs have no natural predators which is why there is such a large population, however "The yellow crazy ant, an invasive species accidentally introduced to Christmas Island and Australia from Africa, is believed to have killed 10-15 million red crabs (one-quarter to one-third of the total population) in recent years" so they are protected since the population may be rapidly shrinking and there is no good reason to hurt them anyway
They not only guard the crab they also want the driver go safety. If the smash lot of crab and also will damage their car tires which means they guard both crab and driver
Really appreciate the efforts of Government there and most importantly the residents of Island to protect these crabs in best possible ways. The road underways, bridges, diversions, road blockages designed perfectly for thee crabs!!! Amazing!!!
That is so freaking awesome that you guys go through all that work to save them. I’m not going to lie I’m crying a lil bit. So beautiful there are good people still out there.
Wood pallets and plywood might solve the problem. Here in the US, the pallets are junk. On the island, most vehicles could probably drive over them without the plywood. You could probably get enough to fix the problem in one shipment.
Searching for male red crabs of Christmas Island and all 10 videos Ive watched only mention the females. Do the males fertilize the eggs in the forest, travel to the ocean, or? Anyone know?
Also, they are already under pressure due to the predation by the disgusting yellow crazy ants which are not even native to the island and are invasive, introduced by humans

They care about the wildlife and not seeing squished crab in the road. The number of crabs that are crossing the road that time of year and the time it would take to clean the road/damage it would do to their car. No different than if you hit an animal that ran out in front of you car driving, wherever you live.
@@instgtr5200 A quick Google search tells me that they are not considered to have a good flavour and they’re too small to be viable as a food as the meat (of which there is very little) is 90% water anyway.

Why are you saving the crab? It’s useless,you can’t eat it,you can’t do nothing to it,can’t help in any way shape or form ,so why you saving the crabs? What are they used for?
@WR The species is unique to the island, additionally they're under threat from the yellow crazy ant which has established itself on the island and has killed up to a third of the crabs in the last ten years. The crabs are also a vital part of the islands ecosystem, eating anything that's organic from dead leaves to human garbage.

Like pets to locals❤
I found crabs in my pants
Red Crabs when they see their friend get squished: "Alright guys, we're having Bob for dinner".
“Crabs back on the menu boys”
that’s when the cannibalism started!
Uruk-hai approves 😂😂.

Do red crabs bite?
Beep beep here comes the steam roller
@@dann5515 Yes, if there are so many millions of them I can hardly see them being on the "endangered species" list.
I truly love how they go to such great lengths to try & safeguard these crabs 🥰. It really must be a sight in person!
We built a big ah road straight through their path we owe it to them.

The red crabs of Christmas Island are absolutely beautiful, and awesome.
A similar thing happens here in Cuba, millions of crabs migrate every year to the Bay of Pigs area. Many crushed by cars on the roads
love how the crabs even enter buildings and climb the stairs lmao.
This is so incredibly silly, I love it.
i was like oh this would be cool to experience until she said people find them in their beds... that's my limit 😅
i like how the shot with the crab bridge, u see things on the road like 3:37, and its so funny to think that some just, jumped off
how long do you close the roads for?
Hey what's on the menu tonight? Crab😂

We don’t even have proper bridges for humans!
When I see baby crabs scattering in the whole island, I think government should recognize or give the Christmas island for crabs.
That’s so crazy how many there are
Searching for male red crabs of Christmas Island and all 10 videos Ive watched only mention the females. Do the males fertilize the eggs in the forest, travel to the ocean, or? Anyone know?
How do the babies get bk to the forest?
Making bridge for Crabs 🦀 to cross ...
Seafood heaven
Joking about eating animals isn’t funny
Crabs eat other crabs?!?
Great work she’s doing
There are 40 million! Why are they protected? Just curious not sceptic. Do they only live there?
Because they are Endemic; you cant find these anywhere else
Also, they are already under pressure due to the predation by the disgusting yellow crazy ants which are not even native to the island and are invasive, introduced by humans
are they edible? will there be like over population of red crabs? just curious :)
.." saving alot of crabs .." ...😂😂
They don’t bite?
How do the crabs know where the ocean is? How do they know the directions?
They're on an island; all they need to know is to head downhill and eventually they'll hit water!
How do the birds know where to fly halfway across the globe? It’s just a beautiful instinct passed down from the ones that came before them❤
are they edible crabs?
Wow they're cannibals
are red crabs only on Christmas Island?
❤
How can eat these 🤔
I see a great business opportunity
ARE THEY TOXIC?? IF YOU CANNOT EAT IT
Not toxic but apparently the meat is very poor. Regardless, they're a protected species.
Are they edible?
No. The meat is very poor and as they're a protected species you're not allowed to harm them.
@@michaelmclachlan1650 I mean there would be people who would still try one just to eat a meme!!
Sebastians (little mermaid) running about
fantastic change was awful seeing them all get crashed by cars
Alexa play Crab Rave
so nobody eat these in there?
Are they going back to the forest after releasing their eggs?
Give us me back my crabs.
Crabs taste good.
These ones don't and they're a protected species.
Are these crabs edible?

Snow crabs are the best to eat 🦀
I don't have the patience to live on that island let alone visit

only in australia
Money money money money money!!!

Crab rave
They should have never allowed people to build on island. They should have left it all for the crab. Those poor crabs are lost climbing up the stairs.
I thought they were considered an invasive species, if that’s true how can they also be a protected species
“Mom the street is turning red again”
Im here i will cook crab everyday
I just wonder, If there are 40 million crabs on this island why are they so protected?
There are billions of people in earth, why are we prorected?
40 million crabs really isn't a lot.

When there’s that many crabs would some people literally just catch and cook them?
The crabs are inedible.

@@kingsleyonweninaeke5495 No, they're not eaten. Firstly the meat is very poor and secondly they're a protected species.
Its funny once the water hits them they dance
Princess mako princess kako
I only have one question, can that be eaten?
no, they aren’t really edible for us and killing them is illegal. that’s why they close roads for them to migrate
Despite its great numbers, Christmas Island red crabs are not considered edible, at least not edible to humans.
Yes you can eat them they’re delicious
As stated, they're poor eating. Also, they're a protected species so harming them is illegal.
this island belongs the crabs and the humans are here the big problem and not the crabs. looked this small island, why leaves humans in this island.
Say that to the people who live in the Island

isnt it better to build them tunnels beneath the roads?
There must be tons of dead crabs every where, and some corpses probably hidden and hard to find.
It probably smells terrible there.
Money money money money
Those crabs are delicious 😋. You just can't catch them on Christmas Island you gotta go in the water and snag em and boil them good. Mmmmmmmmmmm

Crab land
They are millions of crabs, how do the government controls the population of crabs? Is there a harvesting season perhaps
No, because the number of crabs is naturally high. It's supposed to be like that.
its because their natural predator is extinct, see maclear's rat on wiki. there is another predator for them tho but its an invasive species from africa which is yellow ant@@shitlordflytrap1078
Is this edible
Give it a try
Is anything being done about the goddam yellow ants???
I see foods :')
