Miles de cangrejos rojos han aparecido en algunas playas del condado de Orange, en California.

Los crustáceos, que parecen langostas diminutas, formaban una capa roja en las costas de Dana Point, San Clement, Newport Beach y Huntington Beach el domingo.

Los cangrejos, que miden de 1 a 3 pulgadas (de 2,5 a 7 centímetros), suelen encontrarse en la península de Baja California, en México, pero ahora se encuentran más al norte porque la temperatura del agua en el sur de California se ha mantenido algo más cálida en el último año, según los expertos.

Experts say the 1 to 3 inch long tuna crabs, which normally live off Mexico's Baja Peninsula, are going farther north because of the warm water that has lingered off Southern California for the past year.
