The Giant Blue Land Crab has been around for thousands of years and is native to the Miami area. Years ago, during the rainy season they would migrate in large numbers to lay eggs, crossing roadways to reach the sea. They live in burrows which connect from the land, where they feed, to the water, from which, they get oxygen. Land crabs are an important food source in the Bahamas and Caribbean.
