VIDEO: miljoniem krabju bloķē autoceļus Austrālijas Ziemassvētku salā
Vairākiem desmitiem miljonu krabju Ziemassvētku salā, Austrālijā, sākusies migrācija no mežiem uz okeānu. Plašās krabju pārvietošanās dēļ slēgti autoceļi.
Mazajā salā Austrālijas ziemeļrietumos katru gadu migrē visa tās krabju populācija, kas tiek lēsta aptuveni 50 miljonu apmērā - tā ir lielākā pasaulē.
Krabji savu ceļojumu no meža sāk teju visi vienlaicīgi pēc lietusgāzēm oktobrī-novembrī un dodas uz okeānu, lai tur pārotos un nārstotu.

Every year in Australia, about 120 million crabs migrate from the forest to the sea with the intention of breeding and spawning, but in the middle of their path is a road.ln an attempt to preserve the lives of the crustacians, Australian authorities opted to build bridges pic.twitter.com/2E53pSOegY

Varas iestādes ik gadu gatavojas šai migrācijai, slēdzot autoceļus un aicinot cilvēkus pārvietoties uzmanīgi.
Paredzams, ka šogad krabji piekrasti sasniegs līdz šī mēneša beigām.
