Danielle's fun and giggly reactions towards the horseshoe crabs are just precious 💕
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).
I love these little guys. I didn't realize they had the ability to save a life. I love them even more now.
Thank you! They are truly such spectacular creatures!
They really are outstanding! And thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it!
why there is no horseshoe crabs in baltic sea. or french & danish coast? climate and enviroment is similiar.@@animalogic
I love that horseshow crabs look so scary yet are completely harmless
They really are so sweet.
@@WildlifeWarrior-cr1kkthey look like spiders with armor
@@Anne-ot8gq It's because they are spiders with armor.
@@Anne-ot8gqboth are arachnids, not crabs, so your pretty much right
Seeing your channel grow to what it is now has been such a pleasure.
Thank you for sticking with us, we really appreciate that!
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.
"There ya go, bud" has to be one of the most Canadian/Midwestern sentences ever.
I've lived in New Jersey my whole life and grew up with these wonderful critters. They're so great.
I'm from Delaware, so same! I always love seeing them :)
Hey same here!
- 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
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.
That’s a great idea!!
I love this idea and would enjoy it very much, and I'm so glad that you like my voice!
@@animalogic have you guys done a video on "the painted bat" yet?
I'd listen to that
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! 🦀❤
Hang in there friend! Just know that your surgery will be safe thanks to these little guys! :D
@@danielle_dufault Thanks for helping these little critters get back to the ocean!
These crabs have survived million of years
"All the males have to do is be there!"
Me, as a horseshoe crab: Was that today??
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!
I'm glad that you're alive, and that the horseshoe crab has helped with that. :D
I love the joy you have for these and every animal
Seeing you literally give that horseshoe crab a hand was surprisingly sweet. 🥹
Horseshoe crabs are so friggin' cool!
"Crescent Moon Shield of the Dawn" sounds like a legendary shield in some MMO lmao
Danielle is probably the most beaitufully spirited and enthusiastically wholesome person on the internet, I'm always grateful when a new Animalogic video drops
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!
I too love Horseshoe crabs. great childhood memories of flipping them back over so they could go back to the ocean.
There is so much joy and authenticity in this video. It might be my most favorite one yet from this channel.
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!
These little Ancient Fellas are always a wonder for me to see every now and then!!😮
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.
Horseshoe Crabs are ridiculously charming animals, I already love them. Your excitement is absolutely infectious!
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. 😢
And since the day I subscribed, I was incredibly excited to see how much this channel has shown me and learned a lot from it
So glad to hear that, thanks for your support!
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. ❤❤
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!
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. ❤
Reminds me of when one decided to swim right up to me and chill with me. I felt so honored. I still have the picture of him I took that day. 😅
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...
Look at all the Kabuto❤️
Danielle, you continue to be an absolute joy to watch.
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
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!
The closest living relative of the Trilobite. A creature that's live mostly unchanged for 350-400 million years. Lets give them some respect.
There's a hypothesis that chelicerata and trilobites are sister groups (the other branch of arthropods being mandibulata, i.e. myriapods and crustaceans).
Am I the only one who gets battle bot vibes from these? So cute!
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. 😊
Beautiful crabs 🦀, love seeing your work animallogic !
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 👏!
Love these guys. It was very endearing hearing and seeing you around them. I’ve been blessed medically as well.
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!
As a fellow T1D, I also deeply appreciate these funny little guys! 💙
Love horse shoe crab they are one of my favorite animals
They're living fossils, not too many of those left in the world
@scarletgoat173nah they are my least favorite wild cat my favorite wild cat is the andean wild cat but thanks for your opinion that legit no one ask
@@Style_224no one asked your opinion either, let people say what they want. Even if like scarletgoat they're not smart enough to prefix their subjective opinion with "I think"
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.
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.
- 13:15 thanks guys for helping out the horseshoe crabs 😊❤
- I'm so glad that this channel is doing longer videos! The 5 minute - 10 minute ones aren't enough. This channel ROCKS 🤗🤟🏽🤘🏽🤙🏽👊🏽❤
You're such an amazing person ❤
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!
Yes God bless horseshoe crabs... they have literally saved more lives than any other living species on this planet
Danielle if you see this, your voice and persona is so soothing that your videos are in my "anti-anxiety/soothing playlist".
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!
I love the enthusiasm you have for this little guys! I've always loved seeing them on beaches as a kid.
I already adored horseshoe crabs…. But now I love them even more. Thank you, Danielle ❤❤❤❤
As Octopus Lady says, "You don't need to go to space to find aliens."
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 ❤
Insulin dependent type 1 here also. I just wanted to say, thank you and tell you, you are awesome
I love how they're swim upside down, it's look so cute. >
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.
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.
I very fondly remember growing up and flipping horseshoe crabs down in Florida with my grandparents 🥰🥰 I've always LOVED these amazing little guys
It’s like an ancient software that’s gotten multiple patches and has been running fine since.
Danielle, you are just The Coolest! I absolutely Love watching your work! Never stop! You're like a female Attenborough!!!! Love you!
I never thought they were cute, but after hearing your story and getting educated on their contributions. I see them in a different light. They are cute and seem very gentle. Traveling to and touching one is now on my bucket list.
My favorite animal is the horseshoe crab and I am so glad they are finally getting the recognition that they deserve :)
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 :)
I love when you get giddy over horseshoe crabs. HAH! :)
I’m a diabetic too so those horseshoe crabs are my heroes which are helping me too.
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 just love your enthusiasm for these magnificent and ancient creatures! it has rubbed off on me, thank you for another amazing and entertaining video.
As as fellow Type 1 Diabetic, lemme shout a big thanks to these lives-saving crabs!
i love this channel, thanks for your enthusiasm Danielle!
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.
That was absolutely marvelous! Thanks so much for this episode :D
They have been my favorite creature ever since I was a child... Learning more about these weird and ancient cuties made me happy 😁
I adore this channel for this type of content, im so glad to learn about these little guys!!
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.
Of the wild creatures that merit mutualism on pragmatic and ethical grounds alike, horseshoe crabs are waaaay up towards the top of the list.
And it should be noted the list is very long.
Mutualism?
@@FredJones-tl9yz Somewhat akin to symbiosis, but with more of a 'things we are/do benefit each other and that's nice' vibe than a 'we have evolved codependency'. Alternatively, it can be used as a category OF symbiosis (but... By the same people who consider parasitism symbiosis, so I take that with a grain of salt); I prefer to think of it as something apart, since it tends to be less restrictive, and can involve several species. Commensalism is another category, and that's more a 'nobody's harming each other or really getting anything' arrangement, which is kind of how we are with the majority of birds, the occasional accident with windows and poo aside.
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.
Awww maaan, I live there! Imagine being out on the beach and there's one of my favorite content persons just playing with the horseshoe crabs.🎉
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. 😂
This felt like a very special episode. Loved it!
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
you're AWESOME! this video really let your personality shine while being well-written, informative and soooo adorable
I love the horseshoe crabs thought her shoes were their sweetheart. They have no idea she loves them too.
Such an incredibly awesome creature! I'm so glad they're able to help us test things. Maybe someone will eventually develop a material to replace their blood. Until then, I thank you and the beach goers who help them flip back. (That's a tough life, there!)
Much love, Danielle and crew! 💜🏖️
This might be my favorite episode
Imagine being bored at home and going "ayo lets go flip some crabs"
Wow... I joined your channel around 155k subs, now seeing where you've reached almost 2million !!! with the important message of animals and the environment that they and us live in is vital! All the best team !!! Go for more!!!
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 pretty sure we can call Danielle and Horseshoe crabs lovingly symbiotic in this vid :P
09:06 I see why these were partly the inspiration for Geiger’s facehuggers!
Thank you so much for teaching us things like this!!
Awe love how emotional you got ❤ such a sweetheart
I fell in love with Animalogic because of her, she's like the Canadian version of David Attenborough. I've been following this page for years and have rewatched these videos multiple of times
Keep up the great work! ❤❤❤❤
i grew up on the Chesapeake Bay, and these were always a favorite. i only wish i had known more about them back then!
