English translation:
On Christmas Island (Australia) at the start of the rainy season (in October / November), more than 120 million land red crabs begin to migrate from the forest to the coast the ocean for breeding (for 18 days). During migration, most of the roads are closed to transport. Having reached the coast, the males begin to dig holes, where mating occurs. Then the females, waiting for the tide, lay their eggs in the ocean. The hatched crabs stay in water for up to 1 month, after which they go home to the forest.
