Horseshoe Crab walking on the Beach

Horseshoe crab washed up on the beach on the NC Outer Banks (Corolla, NC), September 18th, 2018. Same location that the Starfish Walking on the Beach video was recorded 6 years earlier.
We did not move the horseshoe crab at all, it washed up, walked around, and eventually returned to the ocean on it's own. We only recorded video of it on the beach.

Fun fact for anyone that doesn’t know: horseshoe crabs aren’t just not crabs, they aren’t even crustaceans. They’re chelicerates, a group that also includes sea “spiders” and arachnids. It’s the sister group to all other arthropods, which are myriapods (centipedes and millipedes) and crustaceans (a massively diverse group but to name a few: barnacles, crabs and insects)

Haha I see you still believe in biology. We don't subscribe to that biological nonsense any longer, if a chelicerate identifies as a crustacean you'll just have to suck it up and accept it. lol

So cute. When I was younger, I was on the beach and I found one buried in the sand I saw the tail and thought it was a stingray turns out it was a horseshoe crab and it crawled right out of its little dent in the sand. It was very cute.

Reminds me of my childhood. My brother and I used to dig little pools in the sand for them while our family was at the beach for the day, then let them go before we left. We were fascinated by them.

That is so cool! My sister lived in Wilmington for 20 years and saw these a couple times at Carolina Beach
Calling this majestic creature "ancient" would be an understatement
The horseshoe crab cannot even pinch you if you put your finger in its claws, the tail is also purely to turn itself over when it gets flipped by the waves, I adore them for surviving that long as a pacifist
Yes, Horseshoes are one of the friendliest marine creatures.... you can safely pick it up and release them in the water
