adaptations that have allowed these animals to successfully survive in the ocean for millions of
years. Discover the importance of this living fossil and how their blue blood helps humans.
Explore the horseshoe crabβs life cycle, get hands-on with some live juvenile horseshoe crabs,
learn about their spawning behavior, and find out where and when you can observe horseshoe
crabs spawning in the Lowcountry!
