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.
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!!!
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
Residents find crabs in their beds and showers. I could never get used to that. I would scream every morning, my neighbors wouldn’t need an alarm clock.
Just a very temporary inconvenience. You can continue to shower, continue to do the regular routines. Just try to not step on one. They are just passing by and don't have clear directions to the ocean. These are crabs, not insects.
"I'm...I'm not gonna make it..." "Don't say that Bob! You've come from worse!" "Listen, Alice. You gotta...you gotta eat me." "What?!" "My flesh will keep you hydrated...give you the strength to keep going..." "Bob..." "Damn it Alice! Just...do it..." "...I'll never forget you, Bob."
WOW.......I never knew. This is one of the most Beautiful things Mother Nature has ever produced. I'm so glad I learned about this. Nice job to all the Volunteers. - Cheers
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
@@leadoug1163 There are also Robber Crabs (also called Coconut Crabs) on Christmas Island, however these are a different species known as the Christmas Island Red Crab or just red crab for short
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@@flytrapYTP
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. So I can only conclude that the reasons they don’t make good eating are the poor flavour and the tiny size.
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?

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.

I love you guys.... For taking a lot of steps for saving those crabs.....
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!

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
WOW.......I never knew. This is one of the most Beautiful things Mother Nature has ever produced. I'm so glad I learned about this. Nice job to all the Volunteers. - Cheers
this is absolutely amazing.
and the dancing/bouncing makes it even better.
love how the crabs even enter buildings and climb the stairs lmao.
i was like oh this would be cool to experience until she said people find them in their beds... that's my limit 😅
This is so incredibly silly, I love it.

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
That’s so crazy how many there are

how long do you close the roads for?
Imagine finding a crab in your bed
We don’t even have proper bridges for humans!
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
Hey what's on the menu tonight? Crab😂
Crab Rave IRL
When I see baby crabs scattering in the whole island, I think government should recognize or give the Christmas island for crabs.
Great work she’s doing
are they edible crabs?
are they edible? will there be like over population of red crabs? just curious :)
Seafood heaven
Joking about eating animals isn’t funny
CRAAAB PEOPLE CRAAAAB PEOPLE
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❤
How do the babies get bk to the forest?
Making bridge for Crabs 🦀 to cross ...
Crabs eat other crabs?!?
Like a different form of midwifery.
Very kind of you 🙂
I have a fear of crabs
They don’t bite?
are red crabs only on Christmas Island?
0:02 ahhhh it is cold so cold ❄️🤣
I heard when you accidentally run down a crab you said "Oh crab"
ARE THEY TOXIC?? IF YOU CANNOT EAT IT
Not toxic but apparently the meat is very poor. Regardless, they're a protected species.
i dare someone to go to this island and play crab rave on it.
Alexa play Crab Rave
U need to add the crab rave to audio
Are they going back to the forest after releasing their eggs?
so nobody eat these in there?
aww its so cute
I thought they were considered an invasive species, if that’s true how can they also be a protected species
fantastic change was awful seeing them all get crashed by cars
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
Who here after watching Crab Rave music video?
🙆
I see a great business opportunity
Are they edible?
No, the meat is very poor and they're a protected species - if you deliberately harm them you can be prosecuted.
Are these crabs edible?
Nope if they came in my house they would be dinner
😂😂
I was going to ask if nobody eats 🦀 there
@@kingsleyonweninaeke5495 No, they're not eaten. Firstly the meat is very poor and secondly they're a protected species.
i need to catch them.
can you eat the crabs?
Snow crabs are the best to eat 🦀
So these are land crabs
only in australia
Give us me back my crabs.
Crabs taste good.
These ones don't and they're a protected species.
Great school bus. Ours are yellow with prison transporter seating
How can eat these 🤔
Wow they're cannibals
isnt it better to build them tunnels beneath the roads?
Can you eat this kind of crab?
No. They're not edible.
Yes you can eat them
@@danyaradimacher6581 they're not edible
Yes you can
Are they good to eat? I don't get how come there are so many of them...makes me think that it's not good to eat
🌟🌟🌟
When there’s that many crabs would some people literally just catch and cook them?
The crabs are inedible.
The red crabs (Republicans ) are just trying to get away from the blue crabs (Democrats)....
Everything is political these days.....
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.

40 million 😮 who count the crabs?
May be through area they occupied...
I don't have the patience to live on that island let alone visit
TikTok-brain over here boys
Im here i will cook crab everyday
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.

.." saving alot of crabs .." ...😂😂
There must be tons of dead crabs every where, and some corpses probably hidden and hard to find.
It probably smells terrible there.
Is this edible
Give it a try
Are red crabs edible? Are they good to eat?
I know robber crabs are edible and I'm almost certain these are robber crabs too

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.
Its funny once the water hits them they dance
Money money money money money!!!

Sebastians (little mermaid) running about
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@@flytrapYTP

Oh so they can walk forward?thats why we cant eat them
Is anything being done about the goddam yellow ants???
