horseshoe crab: I was kidnapped by aliens and they stole my blood
other crabs: go see a psychiatrist
Underrated
Nothing can believe what man is cabable today !!!!!!
No go see a Shrimpk!
😂
😆🤣🤣🤣
I love these critters. One of my favorite beings ever. I've gotten to tag them for a few years. I do classes on them from time to time. They are so critical to our ecosystem on the east coast. Their eggs are a primary food source for many shore birds. Amazing creatures. Please try to love them and never pick them up by their tail. If you must hold them, try to hold them like you'd hold a bowl with both hands. They are docile and they don't have teeth to bite you and the tail does not have a poisoned stinger or barb. The tails are mostly used to right themselves if they end up on their backs. Their numbers are in decline and it takes approximately 12 years for a horseshoe crab to get to maturity. We need to protect them whenever we can.

Was anyone else taken aback when they saw how much blood is collected from each horseshoe crab?
I was taken so far aback I was at the start again.
I was taken aback when there has been synthetic available since 2003 yet we're still torturing these guys as the "cheaper" option.
South Carolina DNR took a payout to allow illegal poaching and now are getting sued for that.
@@IXSuperRadGamerXI basically Asia, Singapore developed the synthetic alternative, but EU and US are late in adopting it.
"only 30%"
Its 16k a liter...money runs everything.
1:43 "They belong to their own class of animals, called Merostomata, _and are not actually crabs_!"
Well, they're not actually horseshoes either, just in case you were wondering.
Purple monarchy's
Horses don't wear them on their feet?! Get outta here.
Good point!
Oh no
More like world war 2 helmet crab
This is why we need to try to avoid losing any species. Nature has some hidden secrets like this! If more species go extinct, we might miss out on some world changing possibilities 😰
Good point!
What is the point of these hidden secrets if we can't exploit them?
@@oliverm1255 because you find them
edgy cringe
@@oliverm1255 you don't know whether it's exploitable until you try, even then it doesn't make sense to take more than what can be sustained as it doesn't make sense to do something that will be a greater harm down the road.
@Jorsey Dack or we can discover the secrets Mother Nature has crafted and find a way to synthesize them ourselves using renewable resources!
Once again the universe has determined *crab* to be the ultimate lifeform
And yes saw a nother video on youtube about animals that some how keep envolvimg into crabs
Well the video says its not acctually a crab
@@kijijin7100 Shut up, shut up
Those things aren't crabs, just watch the first 3 minutes! Most animals keep evolving until they're reptiliods that are able to build chemtrail machines to spray corona bacteria and 5G autism-beams. But you can protect yourself with a thin layer of aluminum foil, just wrap it around your head and you'll be golden, or at least something close to this color.

Horseshoe crabs: Survived 5 global mass extinctions
Humanity: Allow me to introduce myself
Food vs Evolution.
You have the same problems that every organism has whether it's an single cellular organism or a large animal. The darwinists wants you to believe that an organism popped into existence with the ability to find and digest food.
But consider the components that have to be in place in your own body in order for that to happen.
Eyes to find and identify the food.
Nose and taste buds to identify the quality of the food. If you didn't have taste buds you would die from food poisoning. When was the last time you spit something out that tasted rotten.
Bones and muscular structure to move yourself towards the food.
A month that is designed to intake food and only food and not other matter.
A brain to identify the food.
The digestive system to transform the food into energy. Which is made up of many complex parts just on its own.
An anus to excrete the food waste or you'll explode from food waste buildup.
Liver and kidneys.
To filter the natural toxic build up inherent to all food.
And last but not least, Food itself.
Which only comes from the food chain and organisms that would have to already exist. Or you could be born into existence with the ability to manufacture your own food which is called photosynthesis. An extremely complex multi-step process. Which is just as complicated as digestion.
And requires the intake of oxygen and water. So it's really just the ability to eat CO2, water, and sunlight. Darwinism wants you to believe that an organism popped into existence with all of these features.
Single cellular organisms do not have eyes, mouths, or muscular structure. Actually they do, they just go by different names like... Membrane, Chemical receptor, Mitochondria, Endoplasmic reticulum.
Single cellular organisms have all the same basic parts that we do we just call them by different names. And if a single cellular organism existed without every single one of them it would immediately die.
@@brianhale3678 "Darwinists wants you to believe that an organism popped into existence with the a ability to find and digest food"
Popped into existence fully formed? I don't think that's darwinism...
Sounds awfully like creationism to me...
Which happens to be it's polar opposite...
@@eliassis576
You can play word games.
You don't like the word "popped"
At the end of the day the first organism needed every single component necessary to collect and process food... or it would have died immediately.
No food, no self-replication.
No self-replication, no natural selection.
No natural selection, no evolution.
Therefore all the components necessary to collect and process food must have been in place before Evolution could have happened...
Anyone can understand this argument it's not complex.
People cling to Evolution because they hate God and His moral authority over us.
An empty Universe cannot tell us what to do.
An empty universe doesn't care how many sins you commit.
God cares a great deal and he will punish every single sin that was not atoned for on the cross of Jesus Christ.
@@brianhale3678 whether right or wrong,we both need to study more...
@@eliassis576
I'll leave this here.
How do you get to hell?
Very simple: claim that you're innocent.
How do you get to heaven?
Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy.
How to know if you're guilty or not?
Simply: Compare your life to the Ten Commandments God gave you in the Bible.
Everyone agrees that if people followed the ten commandments there would be no need for governments or police.
Do not lie.
Do not steal.
Do not commit adultery.
Do not insult God by using his name as a cuss word.
There are six more but let's just leave it at that.
How many lies have you told in your life?
Have you ever taken anything that didn't belong to you?
Jesus said, if you look at a women lustfully you've already committed adultery in your heart with that woman.
How many times a day do you do that?
Do you use God's name as a cuss word?
Would you do that with your own mother's name?
If you answer these questions honestly you know that you're guilty.
God can justly punish you and send you to hell.
Ask him for mercy.
His name is Jesus.
It's as simple as this, The Ten Commandments are called the moral law. You and I broke God's laws. Jesus paid the fine.
The fine is death.
Ezekiel 18:20 -
"The soul who sins shall die.
That's why Jesus had to die on the cross for our sins. This is why God is able to give us Mercy.
Option A.
You die for your own sins.
Option B.
Ask for mercy and accept that Jesus died for you.
Instead of cleaning I choose to find out why horseshoe crabs have expensive blood
lol
A wise choice
As u should

Imagine an alternate world where WE'RE the ones having out blood extracted by Horseshoe Crab beings. *Shudders profusely.
When I was a kid, the horseshoe crabs would line up on all the local beaches and breed, and it was a criminal offense to harass them or take them. They are very valuable to our ecosystem.
Imagine going to jail because you harassed a crab.
Lisa Rochwarg you can go to jail for touching a swan, you also can't renovate or demolish a house if there's wildlife in there in U.K. Lots of animals are protected
Yeah, criminal offense for everyone else except for the pharma business who reserves the right to make crazy $$$ by exploiting these old fellas.

Well let's just hope they don't go extinct, that's all I am concerned about
I lived on the bay and always loved horseshoe crabs. As a little girl, there were so many horseshoe crabs in mating season that you could dig randomly on the shoreline and find tons of eggs and see adorable baby ones inside. Over the years, the population reduced so dramatically that these days I’d be lucky to spot one or two coming to the shore to mate. I don’t know if that’s due to harvesting, or the polluted waters, but I think it’s the latter, as turtles disappeared as well.
I’ve grown up with these i love them please don’t ruin their species :(

Or psilocybin mushrooms. Also nearly as old as life
30 years ago the Long Island sound beaches were covered with horse shoe crabs. Now I rarely see one.

Horseshoe and helmet are an interesting contrast.
That's where pokemon got kabutop's name from
In Russian, they're called "mechehvost", meaning "swordtail"
I remember seeing horseshoe crabs on The Simpsons and thinking “those can’t be real”.
In fact, it's eaten by some people in my country. My friend said, it's flesh tasted nice. But need to eat it immediately after freshly caught.
Nice doggie
I remember digging them up on the beach with my toes as a kid.
Appreciate the video and the info.
Some ways I COULD see them not killing the crabs is reduce the amount of blood taken from each subject.
Perhaps a large breeding facility to help offset the damage being done to their numbers via being fished and having blood drained.
Heck maybe a recovery facility to ensure they stay healthy until they recover lost blood.
All of this done just until we no long need them for the medical field once we have created a synthetic version.
Horseshoe Crab: "I am, Perfection."
I know they eat them in certain places but I saw a cooking programme where they were saying their eggs which collect on their underside were extremely poisonous to some people, but not to others.
One day they will find something even in cockroaches that will make us live longer so we can keep destroying the earth. Hail to science.
Well. This something i want to know. They are an interesting creature
Well it's a good thing we'll die alongside them if we accidentally made them go extinct
We have survived almost two million years without their help. We will get by, we will survive. At least a little longer.

Blue Blood is a racist term from back when the Spanish though white people were special because of the blue veins seen through the pale skin of their necks.
Jose interesting and in African American-communities if you could see such “blue veins” that meant you were “better” than those darker than you because you were mixed with something although you too were black and not even allowed the same liberties as the whites. Light skinned blacks also had “blue vein “ societies. Thanks Jose for the lesson about the Spaniards!

great content, lots of information. Thank you for producing this
I'm starting to think humanity's only purpose is to destroy.
There's no way taking 30% of the Horseshoe crab's blood is good for them. I bet a ton of them die from this process, especially when incentives are to take more of their blood and not less for higher profit.
Say "THANK YOU HORSE SHOE CRAB!"
No, we need to leave them ALONE!
"CRAB PEOPLE! CRAB PEOPLE! Look like Horseshoe, bled by people!"
Damn, from the horsecrab's perspective, this must be an alien aubducition like experience.
I love your animal-related videos the most!
Why not farm them.. Keep the ones they caught.. Feed them give them easier lifes and stop taking new ones..
Well some animals don't survive captivity
Yeah, it's weird, it sounds awfully profitable.
That sounds like a good idea...
you think they never thought of that? How could they have possibly missed such an obvious answer? They're spending millions or even billions to come up with an alternative trying to figure the exact component of the blood yet never thought of just farming them? Yeah if they could, they would.
Just take a lil blood then release em.... Then repeat 🔁
I’ve petted a blue Horseshoe crab, it felt weird

As a kid back in the 1950's, I saw lot's of horseshoe crabs along the Florida Atlantic coastline. They have all but disappeared. Where did they go?
"Not to be killed"
Proceeds to remove 2.5 L of blood from each of those nice fellas

Try remove a third of the blood of a human and see if it kills, right?
@@dan339dan a human can survive losing 50% of there blood if they get food and time to rest after the loss
@@malachibest463 but still that would be a horrifying event and we don’t do that
