角眼沙蟹—沙灘中的飛毛腿

角眼沙蟹白天躲在沙穴中,晚上出來覓食。牠們跑步的速度可達每小時14公里,比人類平均速度還要快!研究發現角眼沙蟹在印度太平洋的多樣性是源於外圍的島嶼國家,包括:馬達加斯加,斐濟和菲律賓。

Ghost crabs hide in sand burrows during the daytime and come out to feed at night. They are fast runners and their speed can go up to 14 mph, faster than our general running speed. Our research discovered the biodiversity of ghost crabs in the Indo-Pacific originated from the outlying island countries including Madagascar, Fiji, and the Philippines.
