   When the leaves start to change color in the fall, people go outside to admire nature’s beauty. This changing of the seasons is seen as something fun for most humans. For many members of the animal kingdom, however, changing weather patterns cause them to migrate huge distances. They leave in search of warmer weather, more sources of food, better breeding grounds, and more. National Geographic presents a series about some of the planet’s most amazing migrations in Trials of the Wild.
   Sometimes it is not the distance of the migration, but rather the huge numbers of animals involved that impress us the most. In the episode, “Night of the Christmas Crab,” film crews travel to a remote island in the Indian Ocean, which is home to the Christmas Island red crab. Unlike most crabs, these ones spend most of their lives in the forest. Every October and November, they rush together across the island in the tens of millions, making their way to the ocean to breed. It is a sight that is almost impossible to describe—there are so many crabs crawling around that it looks like the ground is alive. Catch this sight and nature’s other great migrations in National Geographic’s Trials of the Wild.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

   樹葉在秋天開始變換顏色時,人們會到戶外欣賞大自然的美。多數人都將這類的季節變換視為一種樂趣。不過對於動物界裡的許多成員來說,天氣型態的轉變導致牠們必須遠距遷徙。牠們出發尋找更溫暖的天氣、更多的食物來源和更好的繁殖地等。國家地理在《生存大考驗》系列節目中播出了地球上一些最壯觀的遷徙。
   有時讓我們印象最深刻的並不是動物遷徙的距離,而是牠們的驚人數量。在《生存大考驗:聖誕島紅蟹》一集中,攝影團隊來到印度洋一座偏遠的島上,這座島就是聖誕島紅蟹的棲息地。與大部分螃蟹不同的是,聖誕島紅蟹一生中大部分的時間都待在森林裡。每年的十月和十一月時,數千萬隻紅蟹便集體越過島上,衝往海裡繁殖。那畫面簡直無法形容 —— 爬行的螃蟹數量多得讓地面看起來就像會動一樣。觀賞國家地理的《生存大考驗》,一睹這個景象和其他大自然裡的大遷徙吧。
