Crab Collection

On Panama’s coasts, especially in the Caribbean, you can find land crabs that migrate in massive, synchronized hordes—sometimes millions of crabs move from the forest to the sea at the same time to spawn. 🦀🌊 Roads get completely covered, and it looks like the earth itself is crawling.

Even stranger: some of these crabs can store water in their bodies and survive weeks out of the ocean, essentially living as “semi-terrestrial” creatures.
