We are working with Maryland DNR to raise “Horseshoe Crabs in the Classroom.” Hopefully this experience and shows like this will enlighten children and adults about these amazing animals. Instead of hurting and exploiting them, we could learn to appreciate and protect them. We need them, but they certainly wouldn’t miss us if we disappeared from the Earth. Think about it the next time you get an injection.

These animals do look really cool. And this one was pretty interesting.

How big is that crab in the first picture? Curious because around here we get crabs that are about 1 foot or so long, and a few inches wide. This guy looks like he’s about 1 ft high and 3 ft long! I love these guys, the most under appreciated animal in the world, and I think they are so cute! and valuable to society, unlike some animals that ruin the Earth (humans!). So many people think they can hurt you, but they spend most of their time AVOIDING confrontation from predators! How big do these guys get? I would really like to know because I only find answers like “a foot or so” but he looks HUGE!

I have vacationed in DE for over 25 years…always trying to save and turn over the horseshoe crabs with my sons…4 years ago I moved here to teach. I am amazed how little the children of DE know about the horseshoe crabs. I am on a mission and this video was phenomenal. Each year I have taken students to the beaches to see the horseshoe crabs spawn. I believe they have gained a respect for this ancient creature. Thank you! :-)

We live in South Carolina and actually went to see the facility where they bleed the crabs. This whole topic will probably end up being my research paper for biology.
