More than 50 million red crabs migrate in Australia, can these red crabs be eaten?

Recently, Australian red crabs have started to migrate. More than 50 million crabs migrate from the tropical jungle to Christmas Island Beach. In **, swarms of red crabs cross roads, bridges, rocks, and rivers.

The scene is spectacular! So, can we eat these red crabs? It is important to note that not all crabs are edible, and they can be poisonous, so everyone's knowledge of crabs needs to be improved.

Recently, a news story about "more than 50 million red crabs migrating in Australia, and they are red everywhere they go" has caused a heated discussion.

In fact, the overabundance of organisms in Australia is quite serious, which may be related to the local Australian ecosystem, and many species are also alien, so it is normal for uncontrollable numbers to occur. In fact, the migration of more than 50 million red crabs is not surprising. Because this scene will be played out every year in Australia, it is also known as one of the largest animal migrations on the planet.

So let's start with a brief introduction to red crabs. Red crabs are also known as "land red crabs, red crabs, and Australian red crabs". Its scientific name is Christmas Island Red Crab.

This red crab is also relatively large, with a maximum shell length of 116 mm and a weight of 415-480 grams. As they run on the ground, many liken it to a "roasted red lobster". This red crab is not widely distributed and is mainly found on Christmas Island and Cocoa Island in the Indian Ocean.

So can we eat so many red crabs? In fact, although there are a lot of red crabs, they really can't be eaten. Because in the Australian red crab, there is a toxic substance called formic acid, which can also be found in the secretions of bees, some ants and caterpillars.

Because this substance is toxic, if it is absorbed by the body, it will damage the human gastric mucosa, bringing health risks to people. So, unfortunately, although there are so many red crabs in Australia, they are not edible.

Of course, these red crabs can be eaten, but the locals don't seem to like this crab very much, so this crab is also very reproductive, and now it is really necessary to find a way to deal with it.

These red crabs are not edible, because the origin of these red crabs is unknown, and it is not known whether these things have viruses.

You can't eat it, if you eat it at this time, it may affect your physical health, and you may even have diarrhea.

Absolutely. These red crabs are not dead, and they are not poisonous, so they can still be eaten, and they are particularly delicious to eat, and the nutritional value is relatively rich.

It can be eaten, this crab is a unique species in Australia, so the taste is also very unique, which has aroused the curiosity of many people.

Red crab cannot be eaten because it contains a toxin in its body that destroys the intestinal mucosa of the human body. Red crabs mostly live in humid places, and their diet is mainly deciduous leaves, fruits, flowers, and small saplings; Red crabs are active during the day and are largely inactive at night in low temperatures and high humidity conditions.

However, in the list of many high-end seafood in the world, Australia's red crab is among them, and Australia's red crab has entered the high-end seafood market, which means that Australian red crab can be eaten. However, it should have been specially treated, and in the process of processing, the toxic formic acid of the Australian red crab was removed before it could be eaten.

Red crab habits

1. After the red crabs walk out of the burrow, they will automatically form a huge team, and the stronger male crabs will walk in front, and the place they pass is red. They rely on their sense of the temperature of the sea to determine their direction, and their ability to avoid obstacles is poor, so they cross whether it is a house or a parked car.

2. In the dry season, red crabs will hide in the bushes and often dig burrows at the roots of trees. During the dry season, they clog the entrance to the cave, leaving the cave at a constant high humidity level that effectively disappears from the wilderness for up to two to three months throughout the year. This has helped them grow in the relatively nutrient-poor rainforest.

Australia's 50 million red crabs migrate, and these red crabs can be eaten. These hearts have no competitors, food resources are abundant, and the average life expectancy is 35 years, but more than 50 years ago, due to the cargo ship carrying invasive alien species, African long feet seriously threatened his full number, these are the species that can be used, but relatively speaking, the processing process is very cumbersome, resulting in many people do not understand it, and mistakenly eat the red line with toxins and cause food poisoning.

It is not allowed to be eaten, because the origin of these red crabs is unknown, and it is not known whether these red crabs have viruses on them.

You can't eat it, because there is no way to determine the **, there is no way to determine the nutrients in it, and there is a possibility of toxic and harmful substances.

The migration of Australian red crabs is affected by the environment and their own reproductive laws. Australian Red Crab is also known as Christmas Island.

Red crabs, only during the rainy season, inhabit here. And when the dry season comes, they have to move to the tropical jungle. When the rainy season comes again, it's time to breed on Christmas Island.

Because this crab has no natural predators and has certain toxins in its body, there are more and more of them, and it is said that Australia** has also built a migration road for them.

Every November, Christmas Island ushers in the rainy season, when red crabs living in tropical jungles need to migrate to the sea to breed. Because the jungle is so far from the edge of the island, it often takes several days for the red crab to complete this operation. During the whole process, you will pass by people's roads, buildings, and thousands of red crabs, which are enough to dye the entire ground red.

As early as 2005, crab bridges and barriers were built for red crabs to help them migrate. Despite this, as the number of red crabs increases, hundreds of thousands of them are accidentally trampled to death on the road every year.

Seeing the migration of crabs, many people may have questions, and it is not good to live directly on the edge of the island. Christmas Island has a rainy season and a dry season, and the shells of red crabs have no sun protection, so they must migrate to the jungle during the dry season and dig burrows next to the roots of trees to survive. In consideration of the reproduction of their species, they must return to the island during the rainy season.

Christmas Island has a rainy and dry season every year, and Australia's red crabs migrate every year.

When netizens see a racial flood, they will think of solving it by eating, but we should pay attention to one point, not all creatures can be treated as food on the table. Red crabs have a substance in their body that must be handled strictly to ensure safety, and the number of them on the table is very small. Coupled with the fact that there are no natural predators in the area, the number of this crab is increasing.

The female crab that can really restrain the number is the female crab, and when she feels tired during breeding, she will "eat and live at the same time".

I think it's because these red crabs have been destroyed and they can't survive, so they have to migrate.

Because the environment at that time was no longer suitable for the survival of these red crabs, there was a large-scale migration, and the scene at that time was particularly spectacular.

It has something to do with the living environment, and this is done in order to migrate to Christmas Island, so there is such a large-scale migration.

Because the quantity of these things is relatively large, people are afraid to eat such things, so everyone turns a blind eye.

Because these red crabs have special toxins in their bodies, if they are not treated cleanly, people will be poisoned after eating them, and it is very troublesome to deal with.

Because these red crabs are not to be provoked, this situation will occur.

I think it's normal for 50 million red crabs to migrate in Australia. But the migration of red crabs is too large, and my opinion is mixed. First of all, the act of migration, for animals, is a process of life transmission.

These 50 million red crabs must have migrated to find a quiet and suitable place to spawn to reproduce. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to move on such a large scale. Due to Australia's vast and sparsely populated area, red crabs are animals that reproduce quickly.

People didn't intervene, and it would have caused a terrible 50 million animals. It's like salmon swimming back and geese flying south. These are all engraved in the DNA of these animals for the mission of reproduction, so I think it's normal.

Because of the small number of natural predators, the number of red crabs in Australia is so terrible. Of course, the impact of migration can be mixed, and I would like to illustrate it from the following points.

Red crabs are used to breed offspring, which is very good. I have always believed that the ultimate meaning of life is to multiply. So I think it's very good that red crabs migrate and multiply. This is not only in line with the laws of nature, but also a rare spectacle.

The large-scale migration of red crabs will cause us to cause road blockages and affect people's normal lives. If 50 million red crabs migrate together, this large-scale migration will lead to the blockage of all kinds of transportation arteries. It is very bad to affect people's normal life, so we need to intervene to clean up some red crabs next to the main highways.

Failure to do so may result in the vehicle rolling over and other undesirable consequences.

In addition, the migration and reproduction of species on a large scale may affect the balance of the biosphere and destroy nature. There are ups and downs in nature. The migration of such a large number of species will certainly cause some imbalance in some other species.

For example, red crabs will eat roadside grass for food during migration. This can lead to soil erosion, desertification of the land, etc. It affects the balance of the biosphere.

I think these animals should want to find a very suitable environment to grow, so they will migrate en masse, which is a kind of behavior of animals adapting to the environment.

It's normal. Because animals are also very intelligent, as long as the place is not suitable for animals to grow, animals will migrate on their own.

It means that this animal is no longer suitable for living in Australia, so they will migrate en masse and then live elsewhere.

This is not a particularly good thing, and such things should not be eaten in life, because it can affect a person's health.

Every October, Australia's red crabs will be flooded, dense red crabs can be seen everywhere, the local department will also introduce some protection policies for red crabs, because this red crab is a land animal, so whenever they migrate from the forest to the sea to spawn in the process will be protected by the local department, in the section of their migration, it is likely to pass through the area where people live, but this does not affect the local people to protect their matter, sometimes even do not let the local car pass, It is also necessary to ensure that these red crabs reach their destination smoothly during the migration process, and even if the number of migrating red crabs is huge, people will not catch them home for consumption.

The main reason why this seemingly very delicious creature is not eaten by people is because there are certain toxins in their bodies, if these toxins enter the stomach of the human body, it is easy to cause gastric ulcers or other diseases in the stomach, and this toxic substance belongs to a formic acid toxin secreted by the crab itself, which cannot be removed through processing, so it can only watch these delicious foods go to the sea one by one to lay eggs. Although humans cannot eat these delicious crabs, other animals live on them, so in order to ensure the diversity of the creatures, the local people will not remove a large number of these red crabs and let them develop.

This endemic animal is also protected by the local department, although it seems that the number of them in the process of migration is amazing, but in the migration road, these red crabs will encounter a lot of dangerous things, for example, a local ant feeds on this red crab, it seems that a small ant, can actually eat this red crab several times larger than their size, it is really very surprising, and in addition to these ants they will have many natural enemies, In the process of migration, it will also be affected by the lack of water, so that before reaching the destination, it has been dehydrated and died, so the local people will protect this red crab and let it enter and exit freely in people's lives.

The Australian red crab is overflowing, dense and ubiquitous, and it cannot be eaten. Because this red crab has formic acid in its body, and formic acid is a toxic substance, which will be poisoned after eating, so this red crab cannot be eaten. Although it is similar to the appearance of ordinary crabs, the formic acid in its body should not be underestimated, this poisonous substance exists in many insects, formic acid is harmful to the human body, easy to cause poisoning, so can not be eaten.

Red crabs are overflowing and cannot be eaten

Before that, it was rumored on the Internet that Australian red crabs were overflowing, and then China's "foodies" came out to ask if this kind of red crab could be eaten? However, the facts have disappointed netizens very much because it is inedible. Whenever there is a kind of species that is overflowing, China's "foodies" will come out to ask, can they eat it?

Just like the crayfish that was rampant before, after being introduced to China, it was eaten by "foodies" to the point that it needed to be artificially reproduced.

Species are overflowing, destroying the ecological balance

Some netizens often ridicule that if there is a rampant species, there is no need to solve it at all, and there is no need to have a headache, and just let a group of "foodies" go over can solve this problem perfectly. The formation of a rampant species is due to the fact that it reproduces very quickly, and in the absence of natural predators, it can be overflowing. The absence of natural enemies will make the overflow of materials increase more sharply, which will cause certain harm to the ecological balance, and may also cause the extinction of some species.

Therefore, the overflow of species can be a big headache for every country.

The treatment of overflowing species costs people and money

When encountering inedible and inedible species, even "foodies" are helpless. For the treatment of each overflowing species, it is very costly and laborious, and it requires a lot of money and a lot of manpower, so what we should do is not to buy unknown species online at will, and do not release unknown species at will, because of our negligence, it will cause irreversible damage.
