Well, considering crabs were considered the same as spiders before until famine hit and people didn't have anything left to eat, so they finally forced to eat crabs. I am sure there is a spice to make these taste good ;p
@@ally66699 I don't remember, I read it long ago similar to Lobster in US that used to feed prisoners as a kind of punishment since they didn't know how to prepare it.
So, the main reason the red crabs aren't eaten is because they don't taste good and are more waste then food? But spider crabs are good, so they are eaten. That's what I got from this video.
Agreed but they small but if they get taken by us humans sponge Bob won't have a job any more ..Mr crab would be one🤔 with that being said care for a crabby patty 😂😂but still no harm if they harvest them every so often it would be some what be ok just like us with the dear and bass in USA they'll be ok and everyone can eat.. just a small thought.. rays are different but then again we are humans..nothing is off the menu feel me.. we are the real threat to the world...😢🤦♂️👹😎🤘
I was deployed to St.Croix, Virgin Islands in 1989 after hurricane Hugo wiped it out. Shortly after we got there, the crab migration started. So on top of all the destruction we had to work around, there were crabs everywhere too.
I lived on St. Croix in the late 1970s. Went back there in 2005 and it was a very different place. There were still many houses with no roofs and blue tarps for walls. I remember how poor the native islanders were. Bet there aren't too many natives left at this point. Every time a big hurricane destroys stuff the rich tourists buy the land and make it into an unaffordable luxury resort. Sad, really.
@@pietikke5598 Without immigration diversity from other countries, many countries have really limited recipes and bland cuisines.

australians spending time and money on helping the crabs migrate is actually pretty cool. its like any hobby tbh. god knows how much money ive spent over time on fishing and gaming lol
Actually, lately, the cane toads aren't winning. Australian animals have started fighting back. Bin chickens have discovered how to shake the hell out of cane toads, wash off the poison, and get an easy meal. Huzzah for bin chickens.
@@rianmilit it's a bird in Australia. Quite a pretty looking thing, long legs and white feathers, but I can't remember the name of it. Always just called them bin chickens because they like to open up bins and eat food people throw in the bin bags.
It's more interesting why don't they just build a few culverts and force crabs to go through there, can't possibly cost more than cleaning all of this up.
...they show up from Everywhere. Then head to the sea. Then go back in 2 waves. That walk over buildings. Concrete is no problem unless Super smooth & steep. How do you collect them? You're talking about the LA River & storm water system, but veryical like war trenches, on a tiny island that cant pay for it nor afford to maintain it, destroying the island w all the work & concrete.

i think you're underestimating how small this island is and how expensive concrete is. 😂. putting out and collecting sheet metal barriers on a few roads once a year is definitely less expensive than miles of concrete work.
This happen every year. Christmas Island red crabs are not considered edible to humans. They are known for their yearly migration to the ocean and back, which can be observed in December or January
You won't die but you will probably throw up as the meat is awful . You also most likely get a fine... 🤣🤣 They are protected by law and play a vital ecological role on the island.@@rogerrecto1693
Was hoping you’re gonna do the story on the ones that change shells like when the shell gets too small when their body grows too big for it. They need a new shell so they all get a line after all measuring up, they go from largest to smallest and just switch shells. They always end up one guy at the end of it doesn’t get a shell.
Dogs in Oz lick Cane Toads. The dogs go to some sort of doggie heaven and roll about on their backs in the grass. Though very toxic, toad secretions are a class of psychedelic catalysts. Remember the princess who kissed the toad?
There's plenty of crabs we'll eat in aust, but there's quite a few that are toxic and best avoided, if they've got black tips on their claws, best not to mess with them.
So the red land crab is just a bunch of lonely dudes living in basements, alone, and then a rave starts and they all scramble and trample each other to get to the baes
I still wonder why I don't fear crabs as hideous gross creatures(even though they actually are) than spiders, despite being in the same arachnid family. Maybe because their cuter than the stereotypical spiders and less dangerous than spiders(other than overpulation) and less fear of eating them.
When they pointed out that the tiny introduced wasp was from Malaysia, they pointed somewhere in Central America. This is on the other side of the world from Malaysia.
Same thing happens in El Salvadore, my friend back in the 90's was an expert diver & trainer. He was going on a dive trip down in El Salvadore, asked me to come along haha NO TY....Said and tookpics of their red crabs crossing the roads just like those in the video. But no one down there put up barricades lol they just let the crabs do their thing.
That's because you've never ate a Chesapeake Bay fried soft shell crab sandwich. Lived in Louisiana for a decade and their crabs are good but the best blue crabs come from the Bay not the Gulf. Now crawlfish etoufeé, fried gar balls, gator tail, blackened catfish filets, frog legs and those huge gulf oysters are the bomb. Hell coonass Cajuns could take an old tire or license plate and season it, cook it, and make it c'est ce bon mon Amie! They came up with Old Bay in Baltimore not Baton Rouge. Thanks to the Holocaust a Jewish German refugee Gustav Brunn came up with it in Baltimore in 1940. He was a master sausage Spicer in Duetschland until the MAGAs I mean Nazis chased him out!
People see Crabs, I see breakfast, lunch and dinner.
exactly!!!!!
Not the type of crabs I have 😢
Word for real !!!
Yummy

No matter how bad this crab originally taste, the Chinese chefs will make this crab taste great😂

Didn't know that???😮
Crabs are just spiders with riot armour two sizzors and no web
everything leads to crab
the web is on the inside
😂
i do remember a different, mhm, timeline, there crabs did have 6 legs, so not a spider for me, even if they are come now with 8 legs.
We have no problem eating bugs as long as they're big enough and they live in the water. Lobsters 🦞 are big scorpions 🦂
Dear Crabs, thank God you aint in China!
Haha yeah they will eat anything 😂
Asia period! But why not they’re crabs.🦀

I never thought I had an issue with crabs but seeing that many creeps me out and makes my hands shake, this is something I never knew about my self.
Maybe you were a seagull in a past life that was injured and chased down by crabs on the beasch and eaten?
@oriraykai3610 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂look into the ones that ate Amilea Eeahart...
Just send in some Asians, in a few weeks they will figure out multiple recipes to make those crabs delicious 😂
I like how the crabs raise their claws to fight the cars right before they get smooshed.
They can puncture tires!!!
I fuckin died reading this. mfers like ill handle this one bois! *squish*
Crabs are not highly intelligent.
Your laughing now but you won’t be when the chosen crab finally manages to grab a tire and stop the car
Reminds me of driving over the mountain here in a lemming year. Yuck
If this crabs are in Asia It's already on the list of Endangered species.
