Horseshoe crab
Horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) on the seabed. This primitive animal is not actually a crab,instead it is more closely related to the spiders. Its body and limbs are hidden beneath its protective carapace. It inhabits the cool waters of the north-western Atlantic. It has remained essentially unchanged in form for over 500 million years,and is considered a "living fossil". It feeds on worms,molluscs and algae on sandy seabeds. It is known for its mass spawning,during which thousands of horseshoe crabs climb the beaches along the north-eastern coast of the USA and Canada to lay their eggs.
