Crabs have evolved to migrate from the sea to land then back again multiple times over the last 100 million years, scientists have discovered. 

Evolutionist think that crabs (Gecarcoidea natalis) is a species of true crab that lives on land.  

True crabs are distinct from other crustaceans that have developed crab-like bodies.

They also found that on two or three occasions, crabs even went back to the sea from land.
