Mumpy Puffinz posted:how do they taste? There's almost no meat on a horseshoe crab and they eat detritus because they're basically little beach vacuums. So not good.

various cheeses posted:Yo OP tell me some crabfacts four species Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda, the mangrove horseshoe crab, found in Southeast Asia Limulus polyphemus, the Atlantic horseshoe crab, found along the American Atlantic coast and in the Gulf of Mexico Tachypleus gigas, found in Southeast and East Asia Tachypleus tridentatus, found in Southeast and East Asia some wiki stuff quote:It has two compound lateral eyes, each composed of about 1000 ommatidia, plus a pair of median eyes that are able to detect both visible light and ultraviolet light, a single endoparietal eye, and a pair of rudimentary lateral eyes on the top. The latter become functional just before the embryo hatches. Also, a pair of ventral eyes is located near the mouth, as well as a cluster of photoreceptors on the telson. Despite having a relatively poor eyesight, the animals have the largest rods and cones of any known animal, about 100 times the size of humans'.[4][5] The mouth is located in the center of the legs, where their bases have the same function as jaws and help grinding up food. It has five pairs of legs for walking, swimming, and moving food into the mouth, each with a claw at the tip except the last pair. i did a huge effort thread on horseshoe crabs a while back but i can't find it

The best thing about seagulls is that they were significant in the history of ethology (Tinbergen's research). The worst thing about the California gull is that it's Utah's state bird.

Mak0rz posted:Lol yeah an animal that eats literally anything it can get its filthy beak on will starve to death if it doesn't find any overturned horseshoe crabs instead of just going to the city landfill or nearest McDonald's parking lot It's also worth noting that birds are wayyy overrated compared to other, better animals.
