If you have a fear of being surrounded by small animals like spiders or rats, Christmas Island in December is the place to overcome this fear. At the first rains of the wet season (December) about 120 million crabs come out of hiding and start heading towards the ocean.

if you eat it its very posionus cause there would be no crabs and the whole island will be fat

- What?
You're saying that they're poisonous cause they'll get you fat? Then you have a broad definition of the word poisonous.

Poisonous Xanthid Crabs
By oxling 1202434849 Reply Spam [+2] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove
Family Xanthidae
Order Decapoda
Most of the known poisonous crabs belong to this family.|
It is still not known how they accumulate the toxins, most of which are similar to those in puffer fishes (neurotoxins), or why they themselves are immune to it.
These toxins cannot be destroyed by cooking, and are extremely potent.7930373 - 3

They've underestimated the population in the title of this post... Basically; 120,000,000 millions crabs divided by females = 60,000,000 and each one lays 100,000 eggs, so the net numer of crabs is around 6 quadrillion (i.e. 6,000,000, 000,000,000 or rather 6*10 to the 14th power) *FERTILISED* eggs, and thus, just a bit less than that is the number of crabs (Babies and all) on the Island once you add the initial 120,000,000.

I've seen videos of the "Christmas crabs" migrating through town towards the beach before. That alone was impressive enough. But I have never, ever seen anything like the baby crabs working their way back inland! That is both amazing, and totally creeps me out at the same time.
Imagine trying to sleep at night knowing that at any moment any number of of these little red spider wannabees could walk right across your face?!? Pray that you don't sleep with your mouth open, is all I can say.

due to an introduced species of ant which attacks and eats them. It also doesnt help having humans run over them with their cars and encroach on their habitat.

Why are crab legs so expensive?
By hvacr 1141180543 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove- 0
- Because...
once they take the legs, there's rehab for the crabs, counseling, medicine, walkers and wheelchairs. It's only 'till their legs grow back, but it's still expensive.

You better ask for your money back on that French course you took Dragos! and we call hot dogs.. Le hot dog. (only the French french can't for some reason pronounce the 'h' so it's "le ot dog") Also the French french put an "h" before words that start with "a". example: (hehe) asshole is pronounced "hassole" . Now aren't you glad you're getting all these french lessons for free? I'm accepting your thanks as I type.
