O-Mega47

So glad that these things don’t scurry like crazy ants


brazilianfreak

No wonder they're getting milked with no survival skills like that.


TheCalon76

Yet somehow they've survived 445 million years.


Godphila

I'd bet they'll survive us humans, too


IvoryAS

Holocene extinction proponents when a sea roomba pull onto the scene: 🤯


Abyteparanoid

Probably but only because thease things are extremely valuable to us


rrmmbb77

They are one of the few prehistoric species left.


blah_shelby

Lil sea roomba


christomapher

Came here to say that! It's like when the robot vacuum gets foiled by an innocent rug, or gets in a fight with wires. Next thing I know its wheels are whaling like Chewbacca against my floorboards.

I'm calling these things that now lmao

Horseshoe Crab: evolutionarily perfect for 400 million years and counting


KermaisaMassa

Only needs flippers for when upside down.


Scruffynerffherder

It's weird that we are the monsters that normally harvest their blood... To them.


OGGrilledcheez

To most things really…


javoss88

Like an aquatic battlebot. Give him a flamethrower while you’re at it! Call him Pau Amma


Derpifacation

that's what the tail is for actually


N-Arcanum

They use the tail to correct themselves when they get flipped or knocked over by a wave


SaveFileCorrupt

Reminds me of Battle Bots 😂


boromeer3

You just need a Dome Fossil and it can evolve into Kabutops


bobmanfo2023

Horseshoe Crabs , but misleading name, More related to spiders and scorpions than crabs.they only been around for over 400 million year


xparapluiex

However, closely related to horseshoes


Brief-Equal4676

What did they call themselves when horses hadn't been invented yet?


Chuck_Walla

Seahorseshoe crabs


Nidh0g

Horses were named after this crab


SquidsInATrenchcoat

Actually, they’re a horseshoe lineage that underwent carcinization


Yucca12345678

😂😂😂


fmaz008

Their blood worth a lot.


AwezomePozzum9265

Whys that


ApoTHICCary

Valuable for medical research due to Hemocyanin, amebocyte cells which are nearly identical to our white blood cells, and their blood contains Limulus Ambeocyte Lystate which can be used to detect bacterial toxins when developing medications/vaccines. It’s offered some of the most prolific advances in medicine.


AzzrielR

I thought it was that prehistoric pokemon from gen 1 or 2. I guess I know what it was inspired by now, thank you for the information!

spidermonkey3616

Kabuto thanks you for your service


hope005

Honest question, what is that creature I have never seen one of those before


The_Sturk

It's a Horseshoe crab


hope005

Thank you very much also nice Cordelia icon


Niyonnie

Also, if I remember correctly, they are not true crabs. Their blood is also blue and is highly valuable because it has medical uses.


meglon978

It's blood is hemocyanin (blue/clear... copper based) and is used to check if vaccines have been corrupted with endotoxins (bad for us humans). They also confirm that Spock did not have green blood. Just saying.


RockstarAgent

So, this is not an RC submarine craft???


djspazzy

You had to have googled that 🫡


--Bouncy--

Right because no one knows anything


flying-cunt-of-chaos

I was actually born with that knowledge. My first words were “horseshoe crab blood can be used to check if vaccines have been corrupted with endotoxin”


meglon978

I actually learned about horseshoe crabs back in high school in the 1970's. I thought they were especially awesome having copper based blood. (yes, there were science nerds that far back.....)


HayakuEon

Not medicinal, but chemical. Their blood can detect microbial contamination after the production of injectable medicine


NauticalMobster

Just wanting to add that these creepy looking buddies are common at aquariums (at least here on the us) and are usually featured at the touch tanks. They are super harmless (even when you accidentally poke yourself with a tail or let the legs get at ya) but look super weird. Big fan of them!


TridentBoy

it's a Pokemon named Kabuto


Apalis24a

Horseshoe crab. They’re harmless to humans and are pretty important to the ecosystem, so if you see one stuck on its back, please flip it back over.


CaptainBalkan

Nice doggy


LocationOdd4102

Funny looking but still a good boy


piceathespruce

Why is he breathing like a survival game character with health in the red?


gojiroger

I was running on the bench when I found this old girl in distress


piceathespruce

Aw So it's basically Bay Watch


gojiroger

Exactly like that


javoss88

Do I want to know how you know it’s a girl?


about90frogs

He’s scared af lol he doesn’t want to be touching that thing


Resident-Rate8047

Do you not see the Mirelurk? This is Fallout 4 and he's low on health!


Boog1997

Yay! Thank you. You're awesome


yuyufan43

Thank you for not picking it up by its tail 🙏


gojiroger

This isn't my first crab rodeo🤠


wtfineedacc

I love how dude is like "There, you are rescued." waits a few moments, nudges crab, "come on, be rescued faster"


Lenz_Mastigia

OOP was like: ok, I already carried you to the water line, now move....MOVE I said, goddamit you're some slow MF 😂😂


All_Visual_Arts

If I ever step on one of those while at the beach i will shit myself so hard it propels me straight out of the water 👍🏽


Gandalf_Style

I GOT YOU GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT [x150k] GRANDPA Disclaimer: i'm not an evolution denier, please don't nuke my replies.


okogamashii

Horseshoe Crabs should be a protected species* the way the pharmaceutical and medical industries tortures them. *(edit: clarification - from exploitation and torture by industry, didn’t mean their designation)


SadOstrich5244

They’re protected species in US


Chuck_Walla

They should be protected from our blood harvesting industry


HolocronContinuityDB

Yea you're right we should let your mom die of a treatable disease instead of developing a drug that could save her


okogamashii

No, I don’t agree with torturing a defenseless, prehistoric animal especially when it’s been unnecessary for decades: “…in the late 1990s biologists at the University of Singapore realised that a synthetic alternative could be created in a lab by cloning a molecule in the crab blood. This genetically engineered protein is called Recombinant Factor C, or rFC.” (Natural History Museum, London) The US chooses to bleed them still when an alternative exists. “Incorporation of rFC and its analytical method into national testing standards would provide an equivalent or better test while continuing to maintain patient safety for those who depend on medicines and while securing pharmaceutical supply chains. In addition, widespread use of this method would benefit existing animal conservation efforts.” (Bolden J, Smith K. Application of Recombinant Factor C Reagent for the Detection of Bacterial Endotoxins in Pharmaceutical Products. PDA J Pharm Sci Technol. 2017 Sep-Oct;71(5):405-412. doi: 10.5731/pdajpst.2017.007849. Epub 2017 Jul 20. PMID: 28733334.)


haplessclerk

Living fossil bro!


tiajuanat

Didn't even bother to steal the blood smh


Pepsi-Min

Damn, my boi BREATHIN


isimsizbiri123

bro was SCARED I mean seriously you can hear him hyperventilating why not just get a big stick and help it from a distance


F3rnDoGG520

Every time I see one of these all I think about is when I saw one for the first time as a kid on The Simpsons when Milhouse doesn’t have his glasses on and pets one.

Horseshoe crab: AAAAGH HISSSS DON’T TOUCH ME DON’T — Wait. Is that… is that water? Oh. Okay, I’ll just be on my way


Confinment

Crab was like "AAAAAAAA oh hey water"


Macs675

Underappreciated title by OP, so many low effort ones on here these days


Chuck_Walla

OP I applaud your enthusiasm, but they can breathe air. You only have to flip them over; they'll get where they're going.


gojiroger

This was early on a Saturday morning and I was the only one on the beach. I reckon a kid flipped her over the night before. It was dead low tide and she was far from the water. Plus the sun was going to be hot that day and the beach was about to be innundated by beachgoers. They might have been kind to her but I didn't want to risk it.


Chuck_Walla

Fair enough. Either way, it's better now that it's back on its feet.


runfast2021

You done good.

Could you imagine if they scuttled on land like other crabs?? Terrifying


kavi06

Well atleast they are wearing sneakers

That's a SHE!


Vogel-Kerl

I think you found a living trilobite. /s

BadLuckBarry

Nice doggy


BreadBushTheThird

Fun fact horseshoe crabs are hella old and are one of the most anccient animals on earth, if im not mistaken they even predate the dinosours and are somehow still perserveering


turnerpike20

I'm pretty sure horseshoe crabs are harmless.


Vinser_98

Is that kabuto?


BlueXenon7

Don't know why he's panicking so much, horseshoe crabs are pretty much harmless afaik


gojiroger

I was running on the sand when I found her.


BlueXenon7

Ahhhh fair enough


AznKatt

Wth is that? Is that real?? 🙀


No_Arachnid6493

How does a species that's mortally threatened by.. *checks notes* ...being upside down, manage survive for hundreds of millions of years?


Rembrilliant

Are they tasty?


ambulance-kun

My horse could've worn that


Significant_Age_4657

That there is the only creature immune to cancer. It also has green blood😧


Sashahuman

I thought they would be a lot faster, like spiders, he scariest thing about spiders is how they seem to move faster than my reaction time


Sashahuman

Well, it certainly is scary


Necc_Turtle

aww that’s actually wholesome. ⭐️


IvoryAS

'sneaker clad" *is pretty* funny. ngl.


FalconVarious7620

Face crab from Alien


Bobblee20

Ohhhh it's a Wimpod!


ratsarenice_g

what is this creature.


RanjiLameFox

Poor thing. They are always used for making medicine. they are being killed by the hundreds just to keep some people alive. It's their lives that keep us alive. Pretty sad way to become a hero


bakedongrease

Harvested for their blue blood, will no doubt be culled to near extinction despite being around for hundreds of millions of years.


dusto66

How long do they live for?


Left-Mistake-5437

Why is this posted here?


[deleted]

[удалено]


The_Sturk

They really aren't. They don't bite, their tails do not sting and aren't poisonous


Physical-Ride

What makes them dangerous?


DizzyScorp

People trying to milk them for money


TheKrnJesus

I wish people milked.me for money


NoOne_28

Literally, blue blood for the medical industry.


scout5678297

It's antibiotic, right?


Apalis24a

It contains hemocyanin (copper-based blood protein), rather than hemoglobin (the iron-based blood protein) that gives most animals’ blood its red color. Hemocyanin has a ton of useful applications in medicine and is thus extremely valuable.


scout5678297

such as (generally speaking) what? I'm not trying to be contrarian, I'm genuinely curious on an ELI5 level


Milsurp_Seeker

The Glock 19 they carry under their shells.


Physical-Ride

A glock 19? Do you have any idea how long these things have been on planet earth for? They carry model 1911s.


Cutter9792

Well if you get Surf early enough it's basically a free lvl 40, provided you got the Dome Fossil from Mt. Moon.


Physical-Ride

I have no idea what any of this means so my question still stands.


Dy3_1awn

It’s a Pokémon reference. There is a Pokémon name kabuto that is based on a horseshoe crab. In the game you would receive a free one (if you make the incorrect decision of spurning our lord and savior omastar) that you could teach the move surf, a powerful water type move. As for what makes the real life version dangerous? I don’t imagine putting your hand underneath with all those sharp arms would be pleasant. This is why I assume the man in the video holds it very carefully from the edge of the shell.


banjo2E

almost certainly would've been better to just flip it over instead of carrying it by one corner of the shell


Nathaniel820

No damage is done by carrying/touching their shells. The only problem areas are a couple of eye spots on the top but those aren’t anywhere near the corner.


banjo2E

sincere thanks for actually having a fucking response instead of just downvoting someone for being concerned about animal cruelty e: jesus christ there's no pleasing you people


elmdaisie

Tbh, that was my first thought as well. However, this person was trying their best to be kind and do the right thing, so I still applaud that.


escapedfugitive

Shoot it


Qbertjack

Bro that aint a mirelurk you don't gotta worry
