Flip a Horseshoe Crab

Horseshoe crabs are some of the coolest sea creatures and are the perfect example of the importance of one creature in nature to another. Here is a short synopsis about them: Sometimes referred to as “living fossils,” their ancestry dates back 450 million years.

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

Fairmount Park- Centennial Arboretum

May 29, 2021 By Becca Leave a Comment
