Countless cannibal crabs have been spotted in Australia, shutting down roads as they migrate to the sea.

Countless cannibal crabs have been spotted in Australia, shutting down roads as they migrate to the sea. The ocean dwellers, who get their scary name from eating their own kind, were travelling to the coast on Christmas Island off western Australia.
According to scientists, up to 50 million cannibal crabs migrate each year after rainfalls in October or November, and head to the ocean to mate.
