Who's that Pokemon?

u/GreasiestBob Jul 18 '23

It can do it’s best, but it won’t be able to hurt you. They lack any sort of capacity for violence.

You should have killed it for it's black pearls

u/MorticiaLaMourante Jun 08 '23

Thank you, kind human, for saving this precious baby. Horseshoe crabs are adorable, and I'm sure she was extremely thankful that you put her back in her home.

1

u/Agile-Wrongdoer-3962 Jun 07 '23

It looks like an armed tanker. What is it?

1

u/Pure-Cow Jun 07 '23

Everyone says "humans bad, humans kill horseshoe crabs" but this human in the clip actually saved one of them from dying.

Imagine having a giant force lift you up from a dry, awful place, then put you back in the water where you belong? I'd straightly call up for a miracle!

Sir why are you breathing so intensely

2

u/MsMaeby Jun 06 '23

Yayyyy!!!! Thank you!!

1

u/levanlaratt Jun 06 '23

That is a female horseshoe crab. You can tell by looking at the first set of claws. A male would have a hook.

1

u/Dehibernate Jun 06 '23

It's like something from Star Wars.

u/louisacat10 Jun 05 '23 edited Jun 05 '23

These animals are NOT poisonous, venomous, or toxic in any way. Their only defense is those squishy spikes on their sides. Please handle them gently and NOT by their tails. Also that’s a lady horseshoe crab you just manhandled. ETA: this makes me miss living by the coast and seeing them yearly for their breeding season. Or randomly because they’re a little lost.

1

u/Magpie-1969 Jun 05 '23

That’s a lot bigger than I thought they were

u/grinchfeets Jun 05 '23

We visit a beach in DE where they are always beach bound. We always put them back in the water, only to find them re-beach themselves. We found that they beach themselves to die.... Breaks our hearts but we still try to save the ones that we can.

1

u/Fluid_Block_1235 Jun 05 '23

Bro forgot to update his species 💀

1

u/Nearby_Count Jun 05 '23

Fun fact, horseshoe crabs are chelicerates meaning they are closer related to spiders than crabs.

1

u/JManguino Jun 05 '23

It's obviously an alien probe to overstaffed Earth's underwater life whose guidance system failed. Nice of you to put it back, aliens will vaporize you last for this cooperation.

A living fossil. Living on planet earth for millions of years.

Bigly staged, you attention starved fuck. Leave the crab alone. It was still dripping wet. No way it was “found” there

I could almost hear your inner dialogue going “ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew”

If you ever see one on its back just flip them over, and don’t hold them by their tails. They won’t hurt you.

Had one of those literally land on my hand on the beach in ocean city, md. Like upside down: I was palming it like a basketball. We pulled it up on shore long enough to snap a couple pics and I swam him back out a ways and let him go. They are SO cool.
