land crabs
Terrestrial coastal scavengers
Land crabs are crabs adapted to live primarily on land rather than in water, though most return to the sea to breed.
They inhabit tropical and subtropical regions, often burrowing in coastal areas.
Some species migrate in large numbers: The roads were covered with land crabs heading to the ocean.
