About This Activity

Horseshoe crabs have been crawling along ocean floors for over 500 million years, long before the dinosaurs were around. Join us to discover why they are more closely related to scorpions and spiders than crabs and embark on a quest to spot one scurrying by. We’ll experiment with vision to understand their peculiar adaptions, explore the intertidal zone, and contribute to ongoing research. You won’t want to miss out on this expedition to find Earth’s living fossils!
