Fun fact : horseshoe crabs aren’t related to horseshoes
Camera man: "Put your hand in there."

Intro:
Ok, I'm terrified of spiders and pretty scared of scorpions too, but horseshoe crabs are just so cute 🥺 they're like ocean roombas! I love when they wag their lil tails lol. I'd love to see one irl, I haven't yet but hopefully some day I can.
So they've been around since the Triassic period and they still haven't learned to flip themselves over yet?
Everyone gangsta until the Horseshoe Crabs start standing
I love it how they are chill, they don't try to flee or fight much, they are like capybaras
I love horseshoe crabs. I held one once in South Carolina and it was so cool! It's amazing that they are more closely related to arachnids.
Coyote: dies
“Put your hand in it” “My hand? Okay”
Super late to the party, but FYI sand fleas aren't fleas, they're tiny immature barrel-shaped crabs that live in the sand along the waterline and jump like fleas when disturbed. They are harmless, and they grow to be about as big as a small shrimp. As a kid we used to find their holes by the bubbles and try to dig them up before they could dig themselves deeper and get away.
Mark: do they bite?
Sand Fleas:
Those sand flea are teleporting!
Fun fact: Horseshoe crabs are in the same subphylum as spiders, Cheilcerata. This makes horseshoe crabs more closely related to spiders than they are even to other crabs. Like spiders, horseshoe crabs do not have a mandible and instead have chelicerae in front of their mouth parts.
