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
By death101 1141274556You're saying that they're poisonous cause they'll get you fat? Then you have a broad definition of the word poisonous.
By gecko443 1143649255There is no such thing as poisonous crabs cus they're meat is nearly 96 percent water
By yankeekidd 1146766638Poisonous Xanthid Crabs
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.
thanks! so many people will die before they get it right yet it's only 3 little words.....one of my pet peeves
By GreenWaveFlix 1220022293They'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.
By CrkOfDawn 1145749776I'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.
i love me some crab legs. the little ones would be like tic tacs.
By cragrat 1141170320due 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.
By noogiexx 1219043918Can anyone give me more information about this island? I would like to go there.
By rivervoyager 1186125024hey. i am an islander and i can give you some more info about the island. CI(Christmans Island) is a nice and fun place to live
Þяǿĵęċţ ςï
Definately one for David Attenborough and his crew.....
By pauline2000 1165430929CI(Christmas Island) is the only place you can see red crabs.
Þяǿĵęċţ ςï
never go to Christmas island or bring baseball bat with you in case they try and take over.
By Mandalore 1161386088CI is the most relaxing place to be. the red crabs arent that dangerous so dw. i have being living there for 18yrs now. in other words i have lived there my whole life
By Fluke_master 1218472592don't they just eat em all or export them D: That's some good eatin' crab
By nathancgo 1155709735OMG the little baby crabbies were so cute!!!! I just wanna eat them all!!
By NatashaBabe 1150010138Get the airline tickets, crab shell crackers, and draw up that butter!!
By A. 1141263956I have seen a program about Cuba couple of months ago and there were exactly the same pictures like in this video. (like the one when a car is driving over them or when the crabs are climbing on the building).
By zabka 1141218973that may be true but u can't find the red crab ne where else in the world except for christmas island. not even on the other christmas island
Þяǿĵęċţ ςï
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.
By Dragos 1141183591That completely freaks me out!! They look too much like big spiders... (shiver)
By Swanie 1141179587them walking sideways? Ya just walk until you bump into something?
By Dragos 1141224495Exactly like me when I've had a tiny bit too much wine!! (My cupeth overfloweth)
By Swanie 1141523861YOU'RE the one that's probably the life of the party, Swanie!!! And don't even TRY to tell me you've never put a lamp shade on your head! HA HAAAA!
By Dragos 1141524725I bet you that little "bonhomme" at the end of your comment looks just like you!
Cute! :o) (If you studied french.. well then you know what a bonhomme is, don't you?)
a light, chicken gravy? I remember that 'bon' is good and homme is human, right? And I guess it sort of looks like me, with my head tilted to the side, like when I'm eating a taco or a hear a dog whistle.
By Dragos 1141635468You 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.
By Swanie 1141668163Tu vu mon desser? (do you want my dessert?) "Ah wood-ah like fairy mush to leahrn moor of-ah you're languash! Ah ahlreadie have zee accent, no?"
And isn't that kind of like the heavily accented spanish that say sheck instead of check and chower instead of shower? JUST SWITCH THE FIRST LETTERS AROUND, FER CRYIN' OUT LOUD!

By Dragos 1141672253Lol either wouldnt bother me but id rather it be a spider than a crab....spider's don't hurt
By BRACEY2006uk 1141185109And THEN see if you still think that.You have NO IDEA what you are talking about.Or a banana spider.THOSE bastards hurt like HELL!And I don't even think the suckers are particulary poisonous.Evil looking things though.Black and yellow big and menacing looking.spin very stron webs across paths between trees.I've walked into their webs HUNDREDS of times and just the thought still freaks me the fu#k out.
By thebeancounter42 1141419763God that sounds awful !! For sure NOW i will have nightmares! Thanks alot!
By Swanie 1141439099Sure they don't. Try getting bit by a brown recluse sometime. It's "painless."
By truthteller 1141202999these 'brown recluses'? is there another name for them? are they only around where you live? (well, i hardly expect you to know the answer to that one). how big/small are they?
By Peikko 1141405024Vary in size but most are fairly small.They are brown and pretty ugly if you ask me.Long spindly legs like twigs.I've been bitten once by one.Twice by a black widow.Both are very common in South Texas where I live.Got gangrene where the recluse bit me.Thought that wound was NEVER gonna heal.
By thebeancounter42 1141419459check out the "Redback Spider" which is closely related to the "Black Widow of America" and one of our other nasty varieties is the "Funnel Web Spider" (the male is approx 5 times more venomous then the female). Hell, I can't even stand seeing a daddy long legs spider.
By Aussie_Vixen 1141640390that northern Australia is home to some of the most venomous spiders and snakes in the world. They'd laugh at our black widows and brown recluses.
By Dragos 1141683968I'm outta here! Too freaky. Dragos, if you don't stop, I'm going to take a picture of the biggest and scariest RABBIT with the longest and deadliest BIG POINTY TEETH and I will post it where I'm sure you'll look! and I will name the evil rabbit the "Dragostum eviltos Leporid" and have it mate in your backyard! (lol)
By Swanie 1141703179and tiring search on Ebay, I finally found a Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. Brother Maynard sold it to me after an hour of haggling. Soooo, bring on your nasty, filthy 'Dragostum eviltos Leporid' and I shall blow it to holy bits on the count of 5...I mean 3! (hopefully you've seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail)!
By Dragos 1141704163My Dragostum Eviltos Leporid sounds even funnier when you use it somehow! Gotta write that down somewhere in case I get that clue in my crosswords or I may need it to put you back in line when you start with spiders!! lol
By Swanie 1141759241I would NEVER... (O)=halo over my head. (muuaahaa!)=evil laugh.
By Dragos 1141760838i remember hearing one quite-sure- famous song about a 'redback on the toilet' or 'redback in the outhouse' or something like that. and i had been thinking to ask if those brown recluses were otherwise known as daddy longlegs, but after reading everyones comments, i know now that they're not!
By Peikko 1141662750it was, There was a redbank on the toilet seat when I was there last night, I didn't see him in the dark but i sure felt his bite, now here I am in hospital a sad and sorry sight and I cursed the redback spider on the toilet seat last night .......... lol
By Aussie_Vixen 1141895305gotta be a country song, right? I can almost hear the steel guitar in the background.
By Dragos 1141903349Ya PULL me back in !! (Picture Al Pacino) I remember that song.. it's called "The Redback Blues". Now, that's it! I'm not coming back to this clip...well...
By Swanie 1141932602i think i vaguely remember the tune (but then who couldn't--- even if you had never heard it! ;) from some university radio station or such. just reading the words puts the tune in your head already!
By Peikko 1141925612it was nice of you to refresh my memory. However i think poor Swanie is shivering somewhere with a panicked stare in her eyes about now!
By Peikko 1141925855what are friends for except to press a buzzer to your hand when you're already jittery? ; D
By Peikko 1141941813Australia is crossed off my list of places to visit... thanks, Vixen.
By Swanie 1141652943No, you're thinking of the fiddleback spider, also poisonous. The black widows have a red hourglass shape on their back. I think. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
By AliWolf 1143986056but I did read a book that featured those spiders and they are deadly. I usually read murder mysteries (I read alot) and this guy used these spiders to kill his victims.. ugh! (I forget the name of the book)
By Swanie 1141413770i haven seen this many crabs in my life before, interesting clip
By ra2 1141166921That S**t is soo sick and nasty. Why don't they jsut kill those bastards?
