A funny card from Christmas Island

This awesome postcard was send by Amanda from Christmas Island
It's my first card from there, so it's very special to me :)


On the card we see a bunch of 'Gecarcoidea natalis', also known as Red crabs
These sort of crabs live only on Christmas Island

An interesting fact about them: they have such a hard skeleton that they can even
break a car's tire! That's why rangers on Christmas Island build fences along heavily 
traveled roads to prevent people from driving over a red crab

Even the postmark shows a crab! :)
Do you have a special animal that only lives at your place?
In Belgium, we have some special breeds of cows, chickens, horses and dogs
But my favourite? It's the 'Flemish Giant-rabbit' :)

Thank you Amanda for this colourfull postcard! I just love it! :)
