[BusinessKi11ER]

So useful for humans. Wonderful and peaceful animals too.

[DasterTheStalker]

[FABINHOFONSECA123456]

Kabuto? O_O

[pheonix11525]

ehh, its as useless as the blobfish. kill em all

[someone933]

@pheonix11525 A drop of it's blood is worth more than your intelligence. 

[ekoglen]

@pheonix11525 Well if you did alittle research before you made this invalid comment...

But if you take a third of the blood in a Horseshoe Crab, you will get a far superior ammount of money then what you get from your normal job...

[saladin12740]

KILL IT WITH FUCKING FIRE

[nobodyxspecial]

They won't be around much longer!!! Do a youtube search on this title:

Vietnamese Cuisine Horse Shoe Crab (in Chinese)

Wgmador yeah today and last year on my school we had a alantis marine world assembly and the guy from alantis marine world in riverhead ny and one of the things he taught us about was this animal. He told us the population is decreasing and becoming endangered and that whenever we see one on it's back or something on the beach we should turn it over and put it back in the ocean because it lives there and many other places and it could die like that on it's back cause it needs water he brought o

[wgamador]

I used to smash these at the beach when I was like 9 years old, through my abundant ignorance. Finding this video all these years later, I feel like the world's LARGEST asshole for hurting them.

Today...i protect all kinds of life. This video made me realize how much I respect life now. Especially of any creature that is defenseless and that has no desire to hurt you.

Protect Life you youngsters or you will regret it someday.

TRUST ME.

It hurts to look back!

[ihatewonders]

i have found kabuto fossils too.

[epicguy2011]

what the heck did you do to that poor creature >:(!

[MisterHeroman]

@epicguy2011 Yeah, how inhumane to put a lighwieght camera on it's back that it can't feel and let it swim with others of it's kind.

[MisterHeroman]

@epicguy2011 Yes, how inhumane to attach a lightweight camera that doesn't affect this little guy at all, and let it be with it's own kind as well.

[MPGHelper]

"At the very least, their work with horse shoe crabs has confirmed that the brain is where impulses of light are translated into images we can see" Did you really have to study crabs to understand that Your brain is the part of your body that controls Eye sight?

What did you think it was your fuckin' Stomach?

[Norn]

lol the crab was having sex

[TopT432]

@Norn It's porn on Discovery!

[SoiSoiProductions]

my teacher brought one in, it stunk like something bad.... reminds me of a trilobite

[bxzel0915]

ones thing's for sure Gotta Catch em all !

[shoopdawoop3]

i hate these even with vats these fricken mirelurks are hard to get head shots on

[FASSY524]

I love those crabs. I use to pet them all the time at the Jersey shore. They walked around everywhere.

[theyerdahl]

"... and for that reason, the eye is called a compound eye."

*techno music*

[sytrept]

i think horseshoe carbs have 3 other eyes that just can see light and dark...

[shortguy1994]

horseshoe crabs ftw!! :D

[BrutalDeluxe80]

and everyone knows that sharks are boys and dolphins are girls.

[ctscott78]

Your an idiot helldogz509, ill pray for you :)

[rested009]

lol

[MorayEel2]

I agree

[Hurleyind]

shows how smart you are!

[1PintLasher]

i agree with you, its amazing what some people will believe in. wizards first rule

[smackitupNflipit]

200 million years?? That's bullshit, everyone knows that God created the earth less than 5,000 years ago!!

[gahrzahk]

5000 years? Yeah, sure, check is in the mail. The All Powerful Supreme Deity of the Universe (APSDU) took six whole days to create a planet and then took a nap on Sunday. Why couldn't the APSDU just blow a planet out of his/hers/its left nostril in a millisecond? Why would the APSDU need nappy time at all? If I was the APSDU, I wouldnt even waste my time making a miserable lot of humans; Id just create a golden retriever for a pet and go fishing

[explosivedoubt]

@gahrzahk HILARIOUS, you are a funny ass dude!

[mythicky]

The horseshoe crab is a beatiful animal. It is a look back into an era time forgot. Its aluring and mysterious as well as exciting and enlightening.

[noisecape]

I agree. I like looking at the many bizarre creatures of this planet. I had no idea of their eye structure, I found this fascinating!

[sablechicken]

It is so sad what they are doing to the horse shoe crab. They take their blood too, now they can't figure out why they are less and less of them every year.

[fholiday]

first of all, you're an idiot for saying that because they can live after losing 1/3 of their blood. After they take one third, then it is placed back in a holding tank until it replenishes it's blood. It's the same thing as a human donating blood. You don't see us disappearing from it do you?

[sablechicken]

13 percent die after they take their blood.

What about the Red Knot?

[fholiday]

...haven't researched red knot, but im sure it's pretty much past my point

[mangethegamer]

wrong, the die when a wave tips them over, and they can´t flip back.

Have you never been to school?

[sablechicken]

Mangethegamer

They can flip themselves over with their tail.

[RONALD511]

THE EYE IS A GOOD TITLE TO A HORROR  FLICK

[lilbabylee]

omg thats soooo cruel when they stick that needle thing in their eye!!! :'( poor little guy

[DehydratedManatee]

Crustaceans are the bugs of the sea. Compound eyes, exoskeletons, antennae...Can't see why anyone would eat them.

[markeyboy9944]

wow
