lol if u think birds suck it's cuz u haven't hung w the cool ones



also horseshoe crabs are cool and some dumbass thought their little eyes were lovely and vestigial but he was wrong and other people proved him wrong by making concrete horseshoe crabs and showing that real crabs would try to gently caress them because they can visually recognize fuckfriends what a dumb bitch, the guy, not the crab

how do they know it's because they can see and not because horseshoe crabs have a statue fetish??? you never know

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

You’re on a beach walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a horseshoe crab, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the crab over on it's back. The crab lays on its back, it's belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

Horseshoe crabs make me think of trilobites so I like them and will help them.

Yo Pick are there any crabs that live in really deep places like the Abyssal plains (a couple of miles down on the ocean floor) or even the benthic areas like the Marianas trench?

yo true facts hs crabs are super awesome and medical corporations bleed them for cheap profits on their blood proteins and the crabs have a real bad survival rate after being released and that sucks total rear end that we don't force them to synthesize their poo poo without killing my dope crap bros

Confession: I have never seen a live horseshoe crab. I've handled countless preserved specimens, but never saw one live.

My coastal hometown is too far north and now I live in a landlocked province. Everything seems hopeless for my chances to see a live horseshoe crab :sigh:

these things look creepy as gently caress but are among nature's chillest animals imo

everyone's bringing fish and birds into crab thread, what about fish birds? Things that can both fly and swim are super neat

Serious post: my neighbor breeds hs crabs for a biology program at a nearby college. Apparently nobody has been able to synthesize the blood, so they need live specimens to bleed out for science and profit
