CHIMERA CRAB is 90 MILLION YEARS OLD (SEE THE FOSSIL) and LOOKS CARTOONISH
SCIENCE ALERT - FOSSILIZED CRAB "STRAIGHT OUT OF PIXAR" by Lindsey Bever of the Washington Post
EXCERPT: This crab sported a tiny lobster-eaque shell, with legs flattened like oars and huge Pound Puppies-style peepers that protruded from its head - a trait that indicates the creature used its eyes actively for whatever it did, researchers said. But its not only the critter's cartoonish appearance that has some researchers tickled, it's also what the ancient animal means to science.

CRABS WALKS 5.5 MILES ACROSS ISLAND TO BREED IN OCEAN
YAHOO TRAVEL : CRABS WALK ACROSS CHRISTMAS ISLAND
But it's still a hazardous route, and there will be the inevitable road kill during the difficult five-day journey. At points during the month-long movement, the roving creatures cover the area with a crimson tide of claws.
The males are the advance team at the beach. They dig burrows for the females, who arrive five to seven days later. After breeding, the females stay in the burrows for another two weeks or so, laying eggs and waiting for them to develop, Australian Geographic explains.
