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.
satanmat @lemmy.world 440 million years old, and someone goes and staples a tag to me?
God damn it so much

12 1 ReplyGuy_Fieris_Hair @lemmy.world That's how long the species has existed. They live ~25 years.

Slowy @lemmy.world They probably did that to try to learn more about their longevity and habits

38 1 Replybionicjoey @lemmy.ca 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.

18 0 Replydumbcrumb @lemmy.world Well taxinomically, they aren't actually crabs or crustaceans. More closely related to arachnids.
13 0 Replythebestaquaman @lemmy.world Aren't crabs in general just like the spiders of the sea?

CrimeDad @lemmy.crimedad.work OP I mean, if you flip it over and look at the legs it's kind of crabby looking.

teamevil @lemmy.world Go to the beaches in Delaware full moon around 6/15 and it's mating time for the crabs. It's a spectacle when there are thousands of them on the beach at once!
