Movie of Jumping Crabs

Watch these crabs jump. Called Sally Lightfoot crabs, they are indigenous to the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador. They are on virtually all shores in the islands. The red crabs have a toxic taste and can live in the open without fear of predators. The immatures are the same color as the lava rocks, while immatures show a transition to red. They walk fast and can jump a foot from rock to rock. These are from Fernandina Island/Punta Espinosa (Isla Fernandina) in the Galapagos Islands.
