RE: TIL: That Horseshoe Crabs Are Considered Living Fossils
I grew up seeing them alot in New York. And my fear was being in the bay or the ocean, knowing they are down there, and stepping on that spiked tail. Probably a mostly irrational fear, but I thought about it nonetheless ;-)
That's neat that you saw a lot of them, as a kid. I don't know how common it might be to step on their tail. I don't think they are aggressive. I can see how a kid might be scared about it, though!
