Time comes for us all.
We found this dead horseshoe crab on the beach today. It had a numbered tag on its shell apparently put there by The Maryland Fish & Wildlife Conservation Office. I've seen many horseshoe crabs here over the years, but never one with a tag. I made sure to go to the website and log it.
You're viewing a single thread.
Imagine you had never seen a crab before. Then someone shows you a picture of a true crab and says "this is a crab". Now imagine after that you are shown a horseshoe crab. There's no way you would think that's also a crab.
Just give it some time. Eventually, everything will return to crab
Well taxinomically, they aren't actually crabs or crustaceans. More closely related to arachnids.
Aren't crabs in general just like the spiders of the sea?
They may look like it but they aren't closely related at all
Huh, TIL
I mean, if you flip it over and look at the legs it's kind of crabby looking.
