Red-clawed Crab

The biggest mystery of all is their ability to detect the spring tide

The red-clawed crab is highly adapted to life on land, able to inhabit seaside forests and other places if there is even the slightest big damp. The river mouth comes to life at dusk when the spring tide arrives between July and August. Inherently cautious red-clawed crabs begin a mass exodus to the river over dangerous obstacles including roads, scrambling for the river in a short-lived spectacle that lasts less than an hour.
