More than just a cool video, this post is educational. That is if you take time to click on the link and read a few minutes. Pop and I found this Horseshoe crab while waiting on the kids to leave for their para sailing trip. We were walking along the edge of the bay, when we noticed more than a few. It was after their trip was cancelled the day before because of a storm. So, our thoughts were the storm has washed them up and they needed a little help to return to the water. Being the good servant, I called Joe over to see them and give them a hand back in the water. (I would do it, but who would work the camera???)
Now for the informative part. Last year Joe and I watched a special on the crab (which is not really a crab) and learned the value of the animal. Researchers have studied it for years and uses it's blood (without hurting it in any way) to check medicines purity. I find extremely fascinating and hope you do do.
