Red land crab: facts, danger and how to survive it

About the real animal
Land crabs spend most of their lives on land, in burrows near water, and return to the sea or to fresh water only to breed. They are mostly active at night, eat leaf litter and fallen fruit, and mark their burrows by piling up the mud. Many are bright red or orange.
