Minty: What the heck is that?
Mom: Those are horseshoe crabs, they are living fossils and have roamed the earth since before the dinosaurs.
Minty: They look like dinosaurs, a little scary looking if you ask me.
Mom: They aren’t dangerous at all.
As a matter of fact they are pretty special.
They have blue blood and nine eyes.
Their blood is even used in the medical industry.
Minty: All that is very interesting but what are they doing here?
Mom: They are making more horseshoe crabs.
Minty: Maybe they should get a room!
