The animal with the most extreme party in the world throws one of the best main event parties of any creature and there is one place where they go partying on top of an extinct volcano. they live on christmas island in the indian ocean and are just waiting for the arrival of the monsoon rains to get the show on road.
this is a red crab they spend most of the year living inside the forest but at the sign of the wet season the entire crab population marches down to the sea and almost nothing can stop them.Unlike humans red crabs don't travel to the beach for a swim they may take a quick dip to replenish their body fluids after their week long trek across the island but then it's time for the main event.All 120 million hormone craz crustaceans on the beach are looking for love.Red crab mating only last about half an hour and then the partys over for the guys but for the female this was only the opening act.She'll hide away nursing more than 100.000 eggs it only takes 2 weeks before the main event begins the timing of red crabs party is linked to phases of the moon the females will congregate by the water precisely turn of the high tide during the last quarter of the moon.Then it's time of the ultimate baby shower they dance to the early hours of the morning releasing billions of eggs into the turning tide.But the red crab party isn't over just yet after a month at sea the crab larvae make away back to the beach as a living red carpet the lucky ones will make their up to the forest where they will spend 3 years waiting for their turn to take part in the ultimate crustacean celebration.
