Made me happy to see a closed road so the little crabs could make it to the ocean. The crabs were there first and deserves to survive 😊

[Wall.Street.AV.]

I love it that they close the roads. People can drive after it.

It's a request to Nat.Geo.-please don't stop telecasting your programs. We still watch all your channels. It's a request

WOW took my breathe away 😦 poor crabs. Sheesh I didn't realize that they're eyesight was poor.

Crabs have been on our planet for almost 200 million years and I believe that they're one of the most beautiful creatures to ever live.

We definitely underestimate crabs! Our crew got on camera crabs that even walked on water to escape from the octopus; it's fascinating to see it!

i was appalled by seeing them crushed on roads after such excruciating journey to become moms and dads. i was thinking, we are an intelligent species, surely we can do something about it? i was so thankful to see the road closed and crabs getting a chance to be parents.

Oh my god. How many of these Christmas island crab migration documentaries are they going to make? I swear I see a new one every year. There's other migrations and life on earth that's also very interesting to make documentaries about.

I live in Vanuatu..on the beach...this migration takes place in my garden once a year..around December. I'm forever fishing them out of the pool and my bedroom and assisting them to the sea. The coconut crab come for them my dogs go crazy...its always a crabby Xmas here 😂😂😂
