In Malay, there is an idiom roughly translated as "Like Horseshoe Crabs", which means lovers that can't get enough of each other and always stick together (literally and figuratively).
My wife was a type 1 diabetic. She died at 38. Take your a1c seriously and don't wait till problems start to fix them. Thank you crabs for providing life to diabetics.
If you know a type 2 diabetic it's nothing on a type 1. Type 2's cheat on their shit all the time and basically nothing happens to them. A type 1 will straight up die.
I am a single mom with a vascular brain disorder looking at a minimum of 2-3 brain surgeries in the next couple years. I am all my little girl has in this world. I feel you on the gratitude for keeping us kicking. When you said that helping that crab flip over felt special...ooo, that HIT. I think experiences like that with animals--particularly wildlife or exotics--is truly a "iykyk" sort of thing. It's some odd connecting of disparate creatures that feels really intense and powerful and just *right* and meant to be all at once.
- I am from Connecticut && when I was little they used to be everywhere on the beaches. My parents always said to protect them, they are very precious animals. I'm very glad their blood has saved your life along with others. People need to realize how truly incredible, special && helpful they are to the human life. ❤ Thanks Animalogic
Its amazing how animals can save our lives and in this case the horse shoe crab. I'm grateful for all the animals who are the reason why so many lives have been saved. ❤ they are the unsung heroes that deserve their credit.
Right? We rely on the species of this planet more than we know. It's great to be able to tell their stories so everyone can appreciate what we have a little more!
15:31 Yes, Danielle's excietement is contagious! 🤩 I don't think I have seen her this excited since that one time she went on a polar bear safari in Churchill, Manitoba!
This is so magical! I may need surgery next Tuesday, so these little guys might be helping me out again soon. Thanks horseshoe crabies! We love you! 🦀❤
Danielle is probably the most beaitufully spirited and enthusiastically wholesome person on the internet, I'm always grateful when a new Animalogic video drops
Danielle Default, have you ever thought about being a narrator for books on audible? Your voice is great to listen too. I think you would make a great audio book narrator. It would also help the seeing impaired community.
I'm glad that the title wasn't clickbait, that horseshoe crabs are around to help us, and that Danielle is able to be healthy thanks to horseshoe crabs and science!
Your constant gentle kindness for animals is what keeps me coming back. You bring joy to my heart and it brought tears to my eyes. Especially since I am also a diabetic. I now have a new appreciation for both the horseshoe crabs and Animalogic. Thank you for all you do. ❤❤
Danielle your amazing your enthusiasm transcends the screen, thank you and all the A.L team for this and all the beautiful documentaries you guys put so much effort in. You guys are inspiring. ❤
One of my (now late) cats had diabetes. He took insulin twice a day for months (eventually healed from it because cat biology is amazing and that can happen if you catch it early enough), so these little guys saved my cat's life and let him live until his near 20s. I had no idea. Almost cried watching this. Thank you for the knowledge you just shared with the world. 😢
I was curious and impatient and Googled where their eyes were, and the answer is "Yes. More." I love these little guys. Like a cross between a Kabuto and a biblically-accurate crab. Also I appreciate the new term "stabilomorph"! Gives a much more accurate insight into evolution's true and "beneath the surface" mechanisms.
I am also a type 1 Diabetic, i love these guys. I always knew they helped, but i thought we could not touch them because they are protected. I would love to plan a trip to go and help them out!
Man, what a confluence of events leads to the Horseshoe crab track-way getting preserved in the fossil record (when they're usually made in places where they're easily wiped out by water, deformation of soft ground, other tracks) and then somebody managing to find it.
I liked what you said about stabilomorphs. Those awesome "living fossils" did not stop evolving at all. They evolved "around" what's absolutely successful in them instead of trying to evolve "toward" something more successful. Those horseshoe crabs are sure really awesome. Thanks!
There's a hypothesis that chelicerata and trilobites are sister groups (the other branch of arthropods being mandibulata, i.e. myriapods and crustaceans).
These guys are so wild, just in every way! One of my favourite lil factoids is these things have seen every mass extinction in the history of the earth and survived with little to no change at all, they really are hardy lil lads
The sounds magical. I grew up with them in southern New Jersey but I was never honored in such a way. My family would drive to the shore to watch them come in and I'd tip toe around them, petting them. They only freaked me out when I was *really* little, but as soon as I was old enough to understand what the were I was instantly charmed. Even though they don't have noses I still am compelled to boop them...
An underwater scene here is a gift! So many cases, when it comes to horseshoe crab, it's always on the beach. Upsidedown way of swimming, too, an interesting sight! Well done! Thanks!
Like clockwork, every year in Coney Island too or even Jamaica Bay as a whole in NYC, Horseshoe crabs appear. Some weeks have more, some have less but regardless they are a significant indicator of what time of the year it is when they start arrive on shore.
I just love your enthusiasm for these magnificent and ancient creatures! it has rubbed off on me, thank you for another amazing and entertaining video.
This is why sustainable energy, and sustainable society is so important! We must protect all animals so we can learn more about biological diversity, and development! Absolutely amazing video! Thank you for your hard work! This is amazing 👏!
I grew up by the Chesapeake Bay, and we used to see these guys sometimes. They were definitely a special sight, but it's still kind of amazing to think that you came all the way from the western coast of Canada to practically in my childhood backyard (well, to the neighboring bay) to see these guys.
This is so sweet! 💖 I knew these creatures played an important role, but I didn't know anything about their anatomy or life cycle. Thank you for sharing this!
Actually, no! I used to work in a job where I had incidental contact with one of the designers of the original stadium, we would talk about cool crap all the time. I haven't watched any of the modern iterations, but in the original it eventually just fizzled once people realized that a bot which was functionally a horseshoe crab--that squat, wedge shape everyone started doing--was the best design for the course they were using. Horseshoe crabs just cracked the code first. 😊
One of my favorite childhood friends! I spent so many hours playing with the critters on the beach at Cape Cod MA when I was little. Although I'm near the beaches in Oregon, now, I miss "my" beach on the Cape!
Every time I think about going someplace and then I never do a famous person always end up going. Ive lived in Delaware all my life and have wanted the chance to meet animalogic. Since I was in 9th grade about 7 years ago and I hear the first sentence about the Delaware Bay. Made me so mad I love this channel and I'll the videos that keep my love for animals so strong. Keep up the great work.
Seeing how happy you are by these wee little animal brings happiness to my day. There is something so special seeing someone share something they love ❤
I just decided to check the Merchandise store and lo and behold there is a drawing of my wife's favorite Marine animal. Mola Mola. She has sufford some health issues and I am her full time caregiver. In time she will be more independent. Till then this poster will have to do till the Monetary Bay Aquarium has a new Mola Mola and she is able to travel that far. Much love and stay safe.
I've always surmised that the small white box we can sometimes see attached to your arm was some sort of medical device. Big thanks to the horseshoe crabs for keeping you among us :)
When I was a kid, occasionally the aquarium would offer for us to touch horseshoe crabs... No one ever mentioned not to essentially put our fingers in their mouths. 😂
It's important to note that *most* horseshoe crabs survive the blood harvesting for medicine. Habitat protection is the most important thing for their protection
I really enjoy your topics! This one had more detail that I had heard before! Thank you for your information on these important ancient creatures, that provide us so much scientific help.
Wow. I had two bodies of dead ones I brought back to Canada to teach fossils with, but had no idea they had so many primitive eyes. And the use of the telson is terrific.
I'm on the South East coast of Brooklyn and grew up with these guys on the beaches and estuaries. My elementary school used to take the kids out to the beaches to come and observe and help any that got flipped over. Such cool prehistoric critters.
You know how dogs and cats can just tell when someone likes them? I think horseshoe crabs have the same thing with Danielle; that's why they wandered onto her foot.
I remember hearing about how horseshoe crabs are bled for the medical community and worried that there doesn't appear to be any limit on how many we can bleed and potentially kill. Is anyone in charge of preserving their population, or is it just assumed that we humans can't possibly wipe out a population of 30 million?
I live in Delaware! Thats awesome you were basically in my backyard. I remember first learning about them in middleschool. Horseshoe crabs are like a traditional staple here lol. They are basically living fossils
I'm glad so many people are this fond of horseshoe crabs! i unfortunately find them rather unsettling but that doesn't make me less greatful for the health standards we have due to them
Oh I'm so jealous! I've never interacted with a horseshoe crab but I've always wanted to. They're exactly the kind of fascinating crawly things that I love to observe and interact with. I free handle spiders, beetles, true bugs, crickets, even roaches sometimes. If it's crawly and can't hurt me (too badly) then I want to handle it and look at it up close. Horseshoe crabs look like weird alien creatures and they're so cute, like in the same way a jumping spider is cute. Someday I've got to go see them during spawning season. Especially since they've saved my life too. I've taken medication almost my whole life to manage my severe anxiety and depression. Without them, I am so unstable and irrational that I could do serious harm to myself, either on purpose or by accident. I also got the covid vaccine and two boosters... and they might have saved my life too. I recently had covid, and it was brutal. I shudder to think of what might have happened if I hadn't been vaccinated. I could have ended up in the hospital, or worse. So I am so grateful for those little alien crawlies, making our medicine safer one drop of blood at a time.
Thanks, Danielle, for another example of the great work that you and your colleagues are known for. Always informative with a good dose of your special brand of humor to give your followers a chuckle while learning more about the world around them.
From what ive learned, it doesnt matter how clever people are with their inventions and knowledge, nature do always be the most valuable teacher we can learn from.

why there is no horseshoe crabs in baltic sea. or french & danish coast? climate and enviroment is similiar.@@animalogic

I too love Horseshoe crabs. great childhood memories of flipping them back over so they could go back to the ocean.

Fun fact: Thais call serially unfaithful men horseshoe crabs, and there's an associated 2 handed gesture meant to resemble their mating dance.

The closest living relative of the Trilobite. A creature that's live mostly unchanged for 350-400 million years. Lets give them some respect.
