Its really that big. Coconut Crabs can grow up to 16 inches in body length with a wingspan of up to 3 feet. Its the largest invertebrate that lives on land and are usually found on tropical islands. They feed on fruit and stuff but occasionally eat turtle eggs and dead animals.

They are also edible.

We studied horseshoe crabs in one of my labs this week. Really neat animals. Their s s are used to make surgical sutures because they dissolve and their blood has a natural antibiotic element that is used in IV drugs and on medical instruments.

[MiamiHeat]

they also have

- blue blood that is based on copper and not iron
- have remain unchanged for over 250 million years
- can live for a year without eating
- can withstand extreme temperatures of cold and heat
- can withstand extreme changes in salinity


One quart of horseshoe crab blood is worth $ 15,000 dollars.

That is not a fossil. It is still alive. YOU HAVE NO PROOF....
