Horseshoe Crab • Monomad

Does this creature look alien to you? Maybe that's because its 450 Million years old. That's right, the horseshoe crab is considered a living fossil because it has been washing up on the shore for eons! I actually picked up this one, a discarded shell from a juvenile horseshoe crab, at the beach. The shells can be spotted on the shore because as they grow they continually upgrade their armor. But don't let them scare you because they are an empty threat!

I photographed the horseshoe crab with my Canon 5D camera and 70-200 mm lens.
